Key facts
- Executive Orders have been leveraged successfully to encourage major tech companies to adopt higher development standards: in 2021, EO 14028 directed OMB to set Federal Procurement guidelines
- The gold-standard for these practices are the NIST Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) and the Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts (SLSA)
- They're launching a $5 million grant program to fund independent research into how AI impacts users’ wellbeing
- They're making updates to Claude Fable 5’s biology safeguards in a way that substantially reduces false positives
Summary
As the capabilities of frontier artificial intelligence models continue to increase rapidly, ensuring the security of these systems has become a critical priority. Future advanced AI models have the potential to upend economic and national security affairs within and among nation-states. In the near term, governments and frontier AI labs must be ready to protect advanced models and model weights, and the research that feeds into them. This pattern should be applied to all systems involved in the development, training, hosting, and deployment of frontier AI models. This pattern is already in widespread use within major tech companies to defend against the most advanced threat actors and mitigate insider risk. It is manifested as a system design where no person has persistent access to production-critical environments, and they must ask a coworker for time-limited access with a business justification for that request.
