Just a quick reminder regarding the requirements of the Trump executive order: - By August 1, the USG is required to develop a classified benchmark to assess cyber capabilities of AI models. - Also by August 1, the NSA is required to determine the threshold at which an AI model should be designated a "covered frontier model". - Also by August 1, the USG is required to develop a voluntary framework under which the frontier labs will be able to: (i) engage the USG to determine whether a model constitutes a "covered frontier model", and (ii) provide "covered frontier models" to the USG for a period of 30 days before such model is released to "other trusted partners". The "voluntary" framework is required to be developed "with AI developers" participating - hence the reporting about OpenAI, Anthropic and Google participating in this process. The definition of "covered frontier model" is required to be determined by the NSA, in consultation with other USG officials (National Cyber Director, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, Director of CISA, DoW representatives). There is no provision in the executive order requiring or permitting participation from the industry in making this determination. The cyber benchmark will be classified, so one would assume that the industry won't be participating in developing it either (and the executive order likewise does not require or permit industry participation in developing it). The executive order does not mention CAISI at all, so its participation in the process is somewhat surprising.
