OpenAI released a policy paper urging a civilian-led, 'reverse federalism' approach to AI regulation—letting states pilot common frameworks before federal adoption—while the White House advances federal rules through executive orders; regulators would be guided by a proposed Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) to coordinate with industry. The clash highlights ongoing disagreement on governance amid rapid AI deployment and signals how the balance of oversight could shape the technology’s future.

CAISI Expands Frontier AI Security Testing With Google DeepMind, Microsoft and xAI

The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) announced new pre-deployment evaluations and post-deployment research agreements with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI to better assess frontier AI capabilities and security. The expanded collaborations, aligned with America’s AI Action Plan, position CAISI as the government liaison for AI testing and research, including testing in classified environments and ongoing interagency feedback through the TRAINS Taskforce. To date, CAISI has completed more than 40 evaluations to inform government understanding of AI capabilities and national security implications.
