Google DeepMind, Microsoft, and xAI will subject new frontier AI models to pre-deployment review by the US Commerce Department's Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI). CAISI, which has conducted 40 reviews of OpenAI and Anthropic models since 2024, aims to assess capabilities and national security implications prior to public release. This expansion aligns with President Trump’s AI Action Plan, as the administration considers an executive order to formalize oversight of advanced AI systems.
