The White House is expected to issue an executive order proposing a voluntary government review system for advanced artificial intelligence models before they are publicly released, according to CNN.<\/p>\n

The proposal would encourage AI companies to provide US authorities with access to their frontier AI systems ahead of launch so officials can assess potential national security and cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n

The move marks a significant shift in the US government\u2019s engagement with artificial intelligence development, particularly as advanced AI systems become more powerful and capable of influencing sectors ranging from defence to cybersecurity.<\/p>\n

Under the draft proposal, AI firms would share unreleased frontier models with government agencies before launch. Officials are still debating how long companies would need to provide access.<\/p>\n

One version of the proposal reportedly suggests a 90-day review window. However, several industry players are said to be pushing for a shorter timeline of around 14 days.<\/p>\n

The review process would reportedly remain voluntary rather than mandatory, though the framework could create pressure for leading AI firms to participate.<\/p>\n

Major AI firms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, are reportedly engaged in discussions with the White House regarding the framework.<\/p>\n

The discussions come amid increasing concern among policymakers and cybersecurity experts that highly advanced AI systems could be misused to accelerate cyberattacks or expose vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, the draft executive order is divided into two primary sections: cybersecurity and \u201ccovered frontier models.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cybersecurity section reportedly proposes the creation of a voluntary \u201cclearinghouse\u201d involving the Treasury Department, federal agencies and private AI firms. The goal would be to identify and address vulnerabilities in unreleased AI models before they are deployed publicly.<\/p>\n

Experts have repeatedly warned that frontier AI systems could help…<\/p>\n
