White House Drafts FDA-Style AI Model Vetting Executive Order — Models Must Be 'Proven Safe' Before Public Release

The Hill·high signal

National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said the White House is considering an executive order requiring AI models to go through an evaluation process like FDA drug approval before release. The order, triggered by Anthropic's Mythos model finding decades-old network vulnerabilities, would establish a working group of tech executives and government officials. White House staff have briefed Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI, and one or more AI executive orders are expected within two weeks.
