CAISI, which sits under the U.S. Department of Commerce, will “conduct pre-deployment evaluations and targeted research to better assess frontier AI capabilities and advance the state of AI security,” according to a release. <\/p>\n
The announcement builds on CAISI’s previous partnerships<\/a> with OpenAI<\/a> and Anthropic<\/a> from 2024, the center said. Those agreements have been renegotiated to reflect CAISI’s directives from the Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick<\/a> and America’s AI Action Plan, according to the release.<\/p>\n Beyond CAISI’s announcement on Tuesday, the White House<\/a> has been weighing the creation of a new AI working group that would explore potential oversight procedures, including plans to vet models before they’re released to the public, CNBC confirmed. <\/p>\n The working group would bring together a variety of tech executives and government officials, according to a source close to the discussions who asked not to be named because the details are confidential. The group may be established through an executive order. <\/p>\n The White House told CNBC that discussion about potential executive orders is speculation, and that any policy announcement will come directly from President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n The New York Times<\/a> was first to report the working group.<\/p>\n The White House’s discussions about a working group come after Anthropic, a leading AI company, caught government officials’ attention last month by announcing a powerful new model, Claude Mythos Preview<\/a>. <\/p>\n Mythos excels at identifying weaknesses and security flaws within software, according to Anthropic, so the company decided to limit the rollout to a select group of companies as part of a new cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing.<\/p>\n Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei met with senior members of the Trump administration to discuss Mythos at the White House<\/a> just days after it was announced. That meeting happened even after the Defense Department had declared Anthropic a supply chain risk<\/a>, meaning the company purportedly threatens U.S. national security. <\/p>\n Both the White House and Anthropic characterized that meeting as “productive.”<\/p>\n WATCH: White House reportedly considering vetting AI models before they are released<\/a><\/p>\n
