White House officials are exploring official government oversight of new AI models<\/a>, according to the New York Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n

U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told the publication that the Trump administration is forming an AI working group composed of tech leaders and government representatives. The group will be tasked with outlining potential oversight procedures for new models launching to market, including formal review processes, the Times<\/em> reported. <\/p>\n

The proposed plans were discussed at a White House meeting last week with representatives from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. <\/p>\n

Potentially influenced by regulatory processes announced by UK regulators, which relegate AI oversight to relevant government bodies, the working group would also determine which U.S. agencies would be tasked with oversight. Some officials have suggested the National Security Agency (NSA), the White House Office of the National Cyber Director, and the director of national intelligence take the lead, while others have even suggested revitalizing the Biden-era Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation, according to the Times<\/em>. <\/p>\n

The administration has reversed its stance on AI regulation in recent months, despite announcing a federal AI action plan<\/a> that pulled back on regulation of tech companies and threatened to reduce federal funding for states that impeded AI infrastructure efforts through regulation. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill also included limits on state governments’ AI regulation, originally proposing a 10-year moratorium<\/a> on state action in favor of federal oversight. <\/p>\n
