US reportedly reverses course on Britain's testing of AI models
QQQ•The Trump administration reportedly reversed a request that US developers not share new AI models with Britain’s AI Security Institute before release, allowing them to provide early access for safety testing.
1. Testing access decision
American AI developers can give the British government early access to AI models for safety testing without running afoul of the Trump administration, the Telegraph reported. The administration had requested that developers such as OpenAI and Anthropic not share new models with Britain’s AI Security Institute before release.
2. Safety policy context
The institute, set up after the 2023 AI safety summit, tests advanced models to evaluate their capabilities and risks of misuse. Trump has repeatedly dismissed calls for binding safety requirements on AI developers; his newly launched AI task force said Friday that developers must report security incidents involving their models.
