White House weighs 90-day pre-release AI review with industry partners
The White House could issue a voluntary executive order as soon as Thursday to create a government review of unreleased AI models before launch, potentially enforcing a 90-day pre-public window (with some proposing as short as 14 days). The plan features a two-part framework on cybersecurity and “covered frontier models,” a voluntary program for AI firms to share advanced models with the government, a Treasury-led clearinghouse to fix vulnerabilities, and expanded federal tech staffing. OpenAI and Anthropic have been part of the discussions, with broader moves toward model-sharing signals from the Commerce Department’s NIST; the White House has not commented.
