Presses Meta to agree to AI reviews as security concerns rise, NYT reports

Pressing Meta to agree to AI reviews underscores growing U.S. government security scrutiny of frontier artificial intelligence. The Trump administration is urging Meta to submit its AI models for voluntary review, enabling federal officials to assess capabilities and vulnerabilities, the New York Times reported on June 23, citing four people with knowledge of a confidential request. The effort was made through emails, and Meta said it shares the goal of advancing U.S. leadership in robust and secure frontier AI while working through details and hoping to sign soon. Reuters reported Meta’s Muse Spark model launch in April. The Commerce Department did not immediately comment. The move follows an order earlier this month for Anthropic to suspend foreign nationals’ access to its most advanced AI models. OpenAI and Anthropic have been testing unreleased models with the U.S., while Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI agreed in May to provide early access for national-security evaluations. On June 2, Trump signed an executive order creating a voluntary framework for up to 30 days.
