Scoop: Inside Trump's AI framework
ai
Axios is reporting that the Trump administration has created a voluntary framework for reviewing advanced artificial intelligence models before they're released to the public. The framework targets only closed-source models considered to have state-of-the-art capabilities and national security implications; open-source models are explicitly excluded from restrictions. During a thirty-day pre-release review period, government employees would have limited access to models stored in high-security environments with detailed logging of who accesses them. The White House held meetings with industry to discuss the framework—though sources tell Axios not all companies received invitations. The framework lacks clear definitions of what constitutes state-of-the-art capability or a national security risk, and the White House does not plan to release it publicly.
