The White House is reportedly considering a new executive order that would expand security reviews for frontier AI systems before public deployment. The move builds on CAISI’s growing partnerships with Google DeepMind, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI. Officials are increasingly focused on cybersecurity, biosecurity, and national-security risks tied to advanced AI capabilities. If implemented, the policy could become the first major U.S. framework requiring structured government evaluation of frontier AI systems prior to release, potentially reshaping the global AI industry and intensifying competition with China.
