The White House is considering a voluntary review process for advanced AI models before public release.
The White House is reportedly considering a new framework that would allow federal agencies to review advanced AI models before they are released to the public.
According to reports, the proposed executive order could create a voluntary process for frontier AI developers to notify the government ahead of major model launches. Some models could be shared with agencies up to 90 days before release for evaluation.
The framework would involve agencies including the National Security Agency, the Office of the National Cyber Director, the Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
The reviews would focus on high-risk models and could include a classified evaluation process. AI companies are reportedly pushing for a shorter review window, closer to two weeks before release.
The move comes as concerns grow over the potential use of advanced AI in cyberattacks, disinformation, and other security threats. Recent lobbying from political and policy groups has also increased pressure on the administration to introduce stronger safeguards for frontier models.
The White House has previously called for a more consistent national AI policy, warning that conflicting state-level rules could complicate innovation and oversight.
If introduced, the order would mark another step toward formal government involvement in AI model release processes, even as the framework remains voluntary.
