White House Withholds Voluntary AI Testing Framework Citing National Security

AI Regulation• AI Policy • 5 sources • 5 posts

The U.S. government is refusing to provide a draft of its voluntary AI testing framework to a transparency group, citing commercial exemptions and national security concerns. In a letter sent Friday by the Office of the National Cyber Director, the administration declined to release any information regarding the guidelines despite a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Protect Democracy Project.

The agency noted the framework is a 7 page Word document and that it is coordinating with the Commerce Department to authorize "trusted partners" for pre-release access to AI models. The refusal follows a prior agreement to provide substantially unredacted text of the documents to the lawsuit's filers by Oct. 30.
