The US administration has invited representatives of AI companies to the White House. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday of this week. Employees of OpenAI, Google and Anthropic were invited to the event. This is reported by The Information. The journalists cite five knowledgeable sources. The meeting will be hosted by the Office of the National Director for Cybersecurity. This department belongs to the executive branch of government. It protects the country's digital infrastructure. Working-level specialists received invitations. The heads of companies will not attend this meeting. The organizers do not plan to hold a public presentation. The event will be held in a closed format for the press. The authorities want to discuss the finished documents with the developers. This will synchronize the positions of both sides. Representatives of the three companies will come to the capital. They will bring data about their developments.
The main topic of the meeting is a new concept of neural network regulation. The document provides for the creation of a voluntary monitoring mechanism. The laboratories will submit the models to the government for verification. This process will begin before the products are made available. The verification will also take place before the code is sent to the partners. The authorities will be able to study the architecture of the algorithms in advance. The presidential decree set the time frame for the preparation of this document. The work had to be completed on the first of August. The decree was signed in early June. The meeting takes place immediately after the specified date. The invitation mentions further implementation steps. It also talks about an additional related event. Its exact parameters are still being kept secret. Participants will have access to confidential information. The developers will provide access to private tests. Experts will examine the potential vulnerabilities of the systems.
The exact details of the additional event have not yet been disclosed. Participants will learn about the practical mechanisms of the new rules. They will be told about the data transfer procedures. Now the final format of communication remains unclear. Officials can collect feedback from businesses. In this case, the rules will be finalized jointly. Another scenario is also possible. The authorities will simply present the final version of the concept. Then the document will be accepted without active discussion. Company representatives will listen to the government's position. They will fix the requirements for their laboratories. The results of the meeting will determine how the industry operates. The parties will discuss the technical details of the transfer of models. This is an important milestone for the entire industry. The process will take a certain amount of time. The parties will agree on schedules for future inspections.
