‘We hope to sign the deal soon’: White House urges Meta to submit AI models for review, citing capabilities and vulnerability assessment

• The White House is concerned about AI’s cybersecurity implications
• Meta encouraged submission of frontier AI models for review before release
• OpenAI and other major developers have already signed up to do this

The White House is reportedly encouraging Meta to voluntarily submit its most advanced AI models to the government for security review before they are publicly released, per New York Times reporting.

Doing so would allow US policymakers to assess model capabilities, security risks and vulnerabilities, with the administration likely to focus on military implications such as cyber warfare and attacks on critical national infrastructure.
