Occurrences

With our cybersecurity, biosecurity, critical infrastructure, and national security on the line, every AI developer should have to submit their frontier models to the U.S. government for a shot-clocked review before they release them to the public. It can’t only be voluntary, and we can’t rely on third-party organizations that don’t have the compute power, expertise, or security clearances to actually test and assess these models effectively.

Gottheimer called for mandatory U.S. government review of frontier AI models before public release, rejecting voluntary or third-party-only auditing as insufficient.
