Trump administration considering safety review for new AI models after Mythos

The White House Office of the National Cyber Director has held meetings to discuss security concerns related to advanced AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos Preview.

Anthropic's Mythos Preview, a powerful AI model, was previously withheld from public release by the company due to global cyber security concerns. The model's capabilities have been a subject of discussion among policymakers and security experts, with some arguing that it poses unique risks that require government oversight. The Office of the National Cyber Director's involvement signals a more hands-on approach from the Trump administration, which has faced criticism for its slow response to AI safety issues.

The proposed framework comes after months of debate within the administration about how to regulate AI. Earlier reports indicated that the White House was considering a formal review process for new AI models before they are released to the public, but no concrete policy has emerged. It remains unclear whether the framework will apply to AI systems developed by private companies for federal use or only those built by the government itself.
