US Government Pressured to Enhance Review of Advanced AI Models Amid China Fears
OpenAI and Anthropic, two tech giants in the AI space, have joined forces to urge the US government to enhance its review of advanced AI models. In a rare display of cooperation between these competitors, they are pushing for a national framework that evaluates frontier AI systems.
The joint appeal comes at a time when the US-China AI rivalry has reached new heights. The two companies have expressed concerns about the emergence of advanced Chinese open-weight AI models, which pose national security risks due to their publicly available parameters.
OpenAI and Anthropic have already adjusted their release schedules in response to the Trump administration's executive order, which established a voluntary 30-day review process for advanced AI models. Both companies have placed limits on their respective models, citing cybersecurity considerations.
