Trump administration considers mandatory pre-release vetting of AI models — Anthropic's Mythos cited as catalyst for policy reversal

The Trump administration is reportedly considering an executive order that would require government review of new AI models before public release.

The plan could involve an AI working group and possible oversight from U.S. intelligence agencies, marking a shift toward stronger AI regulation.

Anthropic’s Mythos model appears to have helped trigger the debate after the company said it was too risky to release publicly.

If adopted, the move would represent a major reversal from deregulation and could reshape how frontier AI models are tested and approved.
