The White House plans to release new standards for AI regulation next week, retracting Trump's previous promise of "light regulation" According to Beating monitoring, the AI "light regulation" route led by the Trump administration is facing severe challenges. According to the Financial Times, the White House will release a set of voluntary standards for cutting-edge AI models as early as next week, aimed at setting benchmarks for models with top-notch cybersecurity capabilities and establishing a release timeline to standardize future release processes. The US AI Standards and Innovation Center and the National Security Agency (NSA) will play a key role in standard setting and oversight. Last month, the Trump administration's direct intervention in two major AI labs has caused industry chaos and anger: Anthropic's latest model was subject to export controls on June 12th due to abuse and cybersecurity concerns, and was not lifted until Tuesday of this week; OpenAI is required to only release GPT-5.6 to the government selected population, with a broader release expected to take place as early as next week; Google is also in communication with the government before releasing a new generation of coding models with stronger network capabilities. Despite Trump's promise to relax regulations to help American companies outperform their Chinese counterparts, the new model exploits security vulnerabilities and undermines potential risks in key industries, forcing the White House to accelerate the tightening of security defenses.
