According to Zvi Mowshowitz at Don't Worry About the Vase, the White House has adopted a new policy for frontier AI access that shifts control to ad hoc, opaque decisions. Going forward, the White House will decide on a case-by-case basis—with no clear public criteria—who can access frontier AI systems like GPT-5.6. It's a concerning move toward bureaucratic gatekeeping of advanced artificial intelligence.
