You Can’t Escape AI Anymore - The Atlantic

The Atlantic reports that the Trump administration is considering a policy shift toward testing or licensing the most powerful AI models before public release. The move is reportedly spurred by the threat of massive AI cyberattacks. This represents a reversal, as the White House previously described such measures as 'dangerous' and 'onerous.'

The administration is weighing the possibility but has not yet announced a formal policy. The article does not specify which models would be covered or what form testing or licensing would take. It notes the change in stance as significant given the prior opposition.

No official confirmation from the White House has been reported. The timeline for any potential decision remains unclear.
