The administration of Donald Trump is considering new measures to strengthen oversight of artificial intelligence systems, including a proposal that could require the Pentagon to assess the safety of AI models used across government levels.
According to reports, the White House’s Office of the National Cyber Director has initiated discussions with cybersecurity experts and technology industry representatives to examine broader risks associated with advanced AI tools.
Officials are also exploring the possibility of an executive order that would direct multiple federal agencies to carry out safety reviews of emerging AI systems. The move reflects growing concern in Washington over the rapid development of powerful AI technologies.
The discussions gained urgency following the release of Mythos by Anthropic, which has raised fresh questions about cybersecurity vulnerabilities and the potential misuse of such systems.
While no formal policy has been announced, a White House official indicated that any decision would come directly from the president, dismissing ongoing speculation around executive orders.
At the same time, policymakers are evaluating whether to ease current restrictions that limit federal agencies from using Anthropic’s tools. Such changes could allow wider adoption of advanced AI models like Mythos, even as authorities assess their potential risks, including misuse in cyberattacks.
The developments highlight increasing efforts by US authorities to balance technological innovation with national security concerns in an evolving digital landscape.
