The White House’s plan to vet potentially dangerous AI is cloaked in secrecy
The Trump administration has finalized a framework for testing AI models for safety and cybersecurity risks, following months of talks with major tech companies. The details remain private, shared so far only with industry representatives including OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
Why this matters: A government safety process that only the companies being regulated get to see is not really a safety process. It is a conversation between the White House and the industry it is supposed to be watching. The public cannot evaluate what the tests cover, how strict they are, or whether they are working. That matters because the stated goal is protecting people from dangerous AI. You cannot hold anyone accountable for a framework you are not allowed to read.
