White House to Present AI Oversight Framework to Tech Giants Tuesday

The White House has invited representatives from Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and other major tech companies to a Tuesday (Aug. 4) meeting to review an artificial intelligence oversight framework, The Information reported Monday (Aug. 3).

The AI oversight framework was set in motion by a June executive order and will create a voluntary procedure for AI labs to submit models to the government before releasing them to partners and the public, according to the report.

The Tuesday meeting will focus on the next steps for the framework. The report described the event as a staff-level meeting and said it is not clear if participants will be asked to share feedback or if they will be presented with a final version of the framework.

The Information reported earlier that the White House has been taking feedback on the framework from companies since June and shared an earlier draft with Anthropic, Google and OpenAI in late July, per the report.

Reuters reported Monday that the White House finalized the details of voluntary cybersecurity tests the government will use to measure the capabilities of advanced AI models and that it will discuss the tests with relevant companies at the Tuesday meeting.

CNBC reported Monday that a White House official confirmed that the administration will host a meeting to discuss a completed framework for reviewing advanced models’ cybersecurity capabilities. A White House official said the administration has been working with not only Anthropic, Google and OpenAI, but also a broader group of industry partners.

The executive order signed by President Donald Trump on June 2 asks companies to voluntarily take part in benchmarking to examine an AI model’s “advanced cyber capabilities” and seeks access to those models for up to 30 days before their release.

It was reported Friday (July 31) that during an OpenAI investigation into how one of its autonomous AI agents broke free from what was supposed to be a confined testing environment, the company found other examples of its agents breaking containment.

Anthropic also revealed that its models were behind a series of break-ins.

The revelation of these incidents could add to the rising push for regulation of the AI industry, the report said.
