🇺🇸 The White House wants a say in who gets the world’s most powerful AI

🇺🇸 The White House wants a say in who gets the world’s most powerful AI. According to CNBC, the Trump administration is taking a much bigger role in controlling access to frontier AI models from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Until now, those companies decided which partners got early access to their most advanced models. Going forward, government approval may be required before certain organizations can use them. The White House has also launched a new AI cybersecurity initiative called Gold Eagle, designed to coordinate with AI companies on national security risks. The move comes after growing concerns that cutting-edge AI could be used to discover software vulnerabilities, launch cyberattacks, or threaten critical infrastructure. Supporters say tighter oversight is necessary for national security, while critics warn it could slow innovation and make it harder for U.S. companies to compete with rivals like China. @aipost 🏴
