The setup is simple enough: the NSA, CISA, and NIST's Center for AI Standards and Innovation, known as CAISI, get up to 30 days to assess a model's capabilities and vulnerabilities before it goes public, with a particular focus on cyber warfare risks and threats to critical infrastructure. OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, and Elon Musk's xAI have all signed on. CAISI has completed more than 40 model assessments to date, including evaluations of unreleased systems.
