White House restores UK AI Safety Institute's access to frontier models
Why it matters for readers: It highlights that governments are actively deciding who can access advanced AI and pushing for safety reporting.
- The White House lifted a block that had stopped AISI from accessing new AI models, restoring early access from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI.1
- The original block was issued in September by the Trump administration and led Anthropic to restrict access to its Claude Mythos 5.1 model.1
- Diplomatic pressure from AI Minister Kanishka Narayan contributed to the decision to lift the block.1
- Kanishka Narayan plans to announce new AI safety measures, including stricter reporting requirements for AI-related security incidents affecting critical infrastructure.1
- UK leaders and security chiefs have been raising international AI regulation and national-security concerns, including warnings from MI6, MI5, and GCHQ about hostile actors using AI.1
