According to a report from The New York Times on May 4, 2026, the White House is considering a policy that would require federal review of advanced artificial intelligence models before they are released to the public. The proposal aims to address potential risks associated with AI, including national security threats and societal harms.
The report, citing unnamed sources familiar with the discussions, indicates that the administration is exploring a framework similar to existing review processes for other technologies. This could involve testing AI models for safety and bias before deployment.
No official announcement has been made, and the details remain under discussion. The White House has not publicly commented on the report. The move would represent a significant step in AI regulation in the United States.
