One proposal would include a government review process for new models, the Times reported, citing US officials and people briefed on the talks. White House officials told executives from Anthropic PBC, Alphabet Inc.’s Google and OpenAI about some of the plans under consideration during meetings last week, the newspaper said.
Any announcement would come directly from the president, according to a White House official who discussed the matter on condition of anonymity to provide insight into policymaking. The official cast any discussion about potential executive orders as speculation.
Such a move would mark a shift in President Donald Trump’s approach to AI, a technology he has championed with efforts to ease regulatory burdens to help boost construction of data centers and provide them with power.
The administration is also grappling with its relationship with Anthropic, sparked by unease over its powerful Mythos artificial intelligence model and potential military uses.
