U.S. Presses Meta to Submit AI Models for Review as 5 Rivals Already Agreed

3 articles · Updated · The New York Times · Jun 23

Summary

  • Meta is facing a Trump administration push to voluntarily submit its AI models for federal review, according to four people familiar with confidential emails between the company and the government.
  • The reviews would let the Commerce Department’s Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation assess model capabilities and vulnerabilities, part of a broader effort to check national-security risks.
  • Meta is the only major U.S. AI developer without such an agreement; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI and Microsoft have already agreed to share models with the safety group.
  • The pressure marks a tougher oversight turn after a hands-off posture, coming less than two weeks after the government ordered Anthropic to remove access to its newest model over security concerns.
