The White House is looking into an executive order that would create a vetting system for new artificial intelligence models like Anthropic PBC’s Mythos in a bid to protect business and government networks from AI-related cyber risks, a top economic adviser said Wednesday.

“We’re studying, possibly an executive order to give a clear roadmap to everybody about how this is going to go and how future AIs that also potentially create vulnerabilities should go through a process so that they’re released to the wild after they’ve been proven safe, just like an FDA drug,” National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told Fox Business.
