US tech giants invited to discuss AI security tests at White House

Meta and Anthropic will join Google and OpenAI at the White House on Tuesday to discuss a voluntary framework that would give the U.S. government early access to their most advanced AI models for cybersecurity testing, Reuters reported. The Trump administration has finalized details of the voluntary tests, which could require companies to provide 'covered frontier models' up to 30 days before releasing them to trusted partners, marking a cautious shift from its hands-off approach.
