It is not immediately clear why the page was removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The same<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nist.gov\/caisi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> link <\/a>now sends users to the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, the government group tasked with running the evaluations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The department said the deal would<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn3.benzinga.com\/markets\/tech\/26\/05\/52283468\/microsoft-google-and-xai-collaborate-with-us-government-on-early-ai-model-risk-evaluations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> allow the center<\/a> to evaluate AI models&#8217; capabilities and security risks before public release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The department has already conducted more than 40 evaluations, including on advanced models not yet publicly available. Developers often provide versions without safety guardrails, allowing the center to fully assess potential national security risks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">This agreement builds on the 2024 deals with OpenAI and Anthropic established during the Biden administration, when CAISI was known as the U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Officials have argued that earlier access could help surface risks that span cyber intrusions and possible military misuse. The deleted page had described the testing as a way to spot those problems before models reach the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Photo: Golden Dayz \/ Shutterstock<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"text-sm my-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/apis?utm_source=benzinga.com&amp;utm_campaign=article-bottom\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright\">\u00a9 2026 Benzinga.com.
