Trump's AI Policy Reportedly Shifts, White House Considers Establishing Model Review and Regulatory Mechanism
The Trump administration is reportedly considering implementing a review and regulatory mechanism for AI models before their public release, marking a potential shift from its previous stance of relaxing AI regulations. This change is driven by increasing public concerns about AI's impact on employment, energy costs, education, and mental health. The White House has briefed executives from companies like Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI on these plans.

(Central News Agency, San Francisco, 4th, comprehensive foreign reports) The New York Times reported today that the U.S. President Trump administration is considering incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) models into a review and regulatory mechanism before their public release, contrasting with its previous stance of advocating for relaxed AI regulation.
The New York Times reported that U.S. officials and informed sources revealed that the White House is discussing an executive order to establish a working group composed of technology industry executives and government officials to evaluate potential review procedures for new AI models.
It is understood that White House officials briefed executives from companies such as Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI on some related plans at a meeting last week.
This policy shift marks a significant change in the Trump administration's position.
Trump had previously consistently advocated for relaxing restrictions on AI development, revoking former President Biden's safety assessment requirements, and viewing regulation as a threat that would weaken U.S. competitiveness against China.
The Biden administration had issued an executive order in 2023, requiring AI developers to submit safety test results to the government and instructing federal agencies to formulate relevant standards, but Trump revoked these measures shortly after taking office.
However, the New York Times reported that as public concerns about AI's impact on employment, energy costs, education, and mental health increase, coupled with bipartisan congressional interest, the Trump administration's low-intervention stance on AI development appears to be changing.
The New York Times said that this policy shift may be driven by safety concerns raised by Anthropic's advanced AI model, Mythos, a San Francisco startup.
Mythos, which was released last month, demonstrated powerful software vulnerability detection capabilities, which could bring significant changes to the cybersecurity field, thus delaying its public release.
According to the report, White House officials hope to avoid the political impact of AI potentially being used to launch devastating cyberattacks, while also evaluating whether advanced models possess capabilities that can be used by the Pentagon and intelligence agencies.
A White House official told the New York Times that discussions about Trump potentially signing this executive order are 'speculation,' and emphasized that any policy will be personally announced by Trump.
The White House submitted AI policy recommendations to Congress in March this year, advocating for the establishment of unified federal regulations to replace divergent state laws, as well as protecting children while alleviating the energy cost burden brought by this emerging technology.
