The White House has finalized a framework for reviewing advanced artificial intelligence models as the Trump administration moves to address potential national security and safety risks while maintaining a largely voluntary approach to AI regulation.
According to a White House official, the framework required under a June 2 executive order has been completed, but the administration has not yet revealed details or confirmed whether the document will be made public.
Leading artificial intelligence companies are expected to review a draft framework during a meeting with the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD), according to people familiar with the discussions. The meeting is expected to include representatives from major AI developers, including Anthropic, Google, Meta and OpenAI.
“The voluntary framework outlined in the June 2nd executive order was complete by the deadline,” a White House official said, adding that discussions with industry representatives on next steps are continuing.
The framework is designed to guide cooperation between the federal government and major AI developers before and after the release of their most advanced models. It comes as U.S. officials attempt to establish safeguards around increasingly powerful AI systems while avoiding strict regulatory measures that could slow technological development.
Companies including Google, OpenAI and Anthropic previously reviewed a draft version of the framework and provided feedback in late July, according to reports.
However, uncertainty remains over whether the final framework will be publicly available. The executive order does not require publication, raising questions about how companies that are not directly involved in White House consultations would participate in the voluntary process.
The initiative reflects broader efforts by the U.S. government to address concerns surrounding advanced AI, including cybersecurity threats, misuse of powerful models, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on national security.
