The U.S. White House is reportedly discussing an executive order to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) task force, according to the New York Times. This initiative aims to bring together technology company executives and government officials to explore potential regulatory procedures. One possible plan involves setting up a formal government review process for new AI models. Last week, White House officials introduced parts of the plan to executives from Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. The task force may consider various regulatory options, with the review process potentially involving multiple government agencies to ensure models meet safety standards. This move marks a significant shift in AI policy under U.S. President Donald Trump's administration. Since returning to the White House last year, Trump has strongly supported AI technology, swiftly removing the Biden administration's regulatory process that required AI developers to conduct safety assessments and report potential military applications. The policy shift has led to confusion. According to informed sources, ongoing dialogues between the White House and tech companies reveal that some corporate executives believe excessive government regulation could slow innovation, and there is no consensus among companies on potential regulatory approaches.
