White House weighs federal oversight for new AI models with industry leaders

White House officials are reportedly forming an AI oversight working group with tech industry leaders and government representatives to outline formal review procedures for new AI models entering the market. The discussions, including attendees from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, consider which agencies would lead oversight (potentially NSA, the White House National Cyber Director, and the director of national intelligence) and even revived ideas like the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, signaling a shift toward federal AI regulation despite earlier regulatory stances.
