The Trump administration is considering issuing an executive order to ensure new artificial intelligence models are secure before they\u2019re released publicly, according to a top White House official.<\/p>\n

Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, compared the approach to how the Food and Drug Administration evaluates drugs for safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re studying possibly an executive order to give a clear road map to everybody about how this is going to go and how future AI that also potentially create vulnerabilities should go through a process so that they\u2019re released in the wild after they\u2019ve been proven safe, just like an FDA drug,\u201d Hassett said during an interview on Fox News on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Hassett\u2019s comments come as government and private sector leaders continue to respond to Anthropic\u2019s disclosure of its powerful \u201cMythos\u201d model. The company previewed last month how Mythos was capable of quickly finding and exploiting decades-old vulnerabilities in widely used software, sparking concerns that cyber attackers will be able to use AI to quickly discover new vulnerabilities and create exploits before defenders can react.<\/p>\n

Anthropic has limited the release of the Mythos model to a handful of partner companies.<\/p>\n

Hassett said he was \u201chighly confident\u201d in National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross\u2019s work to coordinate the government\u2019s response to Mythos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have scrambled an all-of-government effort and all the private sector to coordinate and to make sure that before this model is released out into the wild, that it\u2019s been tested left and right to make sure that it doesn\u2019t cause any harm to the American businesses or the American government,\u201d Hassett said.<\/p>\n

The shift toward more government oversight of AI would mark a change in direction for the Trump administration, which has touted its largely hands-off approach to the technology.<\/p>\n

It would also likely increase…<\/p>\n
