The White House’s Secret A.I. Rules + The State of Model Alignment With METR’s Chris Painter + The Final Hot Mess Express

New York Times — Tech · · International · Data Breaches

The White House has not publicly released its artificial intelligence policy plan, but some details have reportedly leaked to news outlets. The administration has offered little official communication about its AI rules or direction.

Why this matters: When a government shapes AI policy in private, the people most affected — which is everyone — have no way to weigh in or even understand what is being decided. Leaks are not transparency. They are selective. Someone chose what to reveal and to whom. That is not accountability. The public deserves to know the rules being written in its name, especially when those rules will shape how AI is built and deployed across the country.
