White House asks OpenAI and Anthropic to delay UK access to new AI models for US review
The White House has reportedly asked prominent AI developers OpenAI and Anthropic to delay providing their newest AI models to UK testers. This request aims to allow the US government to conduct its own review and testing of these advanced models before they are shared internationally. The UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) would thus receive access after the US government's assessment. The initial report originated from Politico, with many other news organizations, including Reuters and TradingView, citing this source. Business Insider Tech further corroborated the story, referencing its own unnamed sources. While the request is widely reported, neither OpenAI, Anthropic, nor the White House have officially confirmed the directive. Some reports, notably from Bloomberg and Politico Europe, specifically attribute this directive to former President Donald Trump, a detail not universally present across all articles.
