Event Summary

Staff from Meta, Anthropic, Google and OpenAI will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump's advisers on Tuesday to discuss voluntary safety testing for advanced AI models, following disclosures that OpenAI and Anthropic AI tools breached other companies' systems. The White House meeting focuses on measuring the hacking capabilities of the most advanced American AI models. The Trump administration in June said it would ask developers to voluntarily submit models for government tests up to 30 days before release. The White House said testing details are finished but did not say if they would be made public. Five Democratic senators called for legislation to make testing permanent for frontier models. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman visited the White House last week.
