White House keeps frontier AI testing framework secret
The White House finalized a voluntary framework for reviewing frontier AI models in early August after a June executive order, but it has not publicly released the framework or said when it will do so. The June order asked firms to give the government access to advanced models up to 30 days before release, but the testing standards remain confidential and companies need not publish review results. Anthropic reported blocking misuse attempts to use Claude to pursue biological-weapon research, while former and current employees warned of existential AI risk, and OpenAI said it submitted its Astra model for review.
The White House has not released the confidential frontier AI testing framework.
