A host of industry players, policy wonks and businesses are grappling with the question of how to regulate AI in a trustworthy manner. - Inside the White House, it's mostly business as usual. Why it matters: The industry's mad dash is the product of an ad hoc regulatory apparatus and a general consensus that swift action from Washington is unlikely in the near term . State of play: AI CEOs have been grappling with how to test advanced AI and work with Beijing on safety standards, while the White House favors a solution where the industry finds ways to police itself. - That means the race is on to decide who will be anointed as third-party evaluators of AI systems and controls as the companies await legislation or White House action…

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called the Trump administration's voluntary review of the company's forthcoming Astra model a "productive process" and said that closer engagement with government officials around the world will matter more as AI capabilities advance. Why it matters: OpenAI is close to releasing Astra, the first model designated at its "critical" cyber capability level that the company says requires stronger safeguards during development and before release. The Trump administration has developed a voluntary framework for reviewing some advanced AI models before release, including potentially giving government officials access for up to 30 days. The White House does not plan to publicly release the framework. …

A bipartisan proposal six lawmakers introduced in June as a starting point received chilly responses from leadership in both parties, who indicated they’re looking for a more robust solution, rather than approaching the issue piecemeal.
The White House is excluding open models from its framework to test advanced AI capabilities, sources familiar with the matter told Axios. Why it matters: The voluntary framework will determine how the Trump administration reviews advanced AI models before release, but the White House isn't making it public. What's inside: The AI framework reviewed on Tuesday defines a covered frontier model as closed-source with state-of-the-art capabilities and national security risks, multiple sources briefed on meetings held at the White House said. - There is no clear definition of what is considered state-of-the art or a national security risk. - Open models are excluded, and the framework explicitly says nothing in it should be interpreted as…

The White House does not plan to publicly release its new framework for evaluating advanced AI models, three sources familiar with the discussions told Axios. Why it matters: The voluntary framework has global implications for AI security, but details will only be made available to the companies that are part of the process. - Keeping it private means companies, policymakers, researchers and U.S. allies outside the process will be left guessing how the administration plans to implement one of its key AI policies. Driving the news: The White House on Tuesday held staff-level meetings with industry to go over the recently completed framework. Companies that weren't invited remain in the dark about its contents. - The AI framework comes…
