The US just signaled today that A.I. safety is moving forward at every level of government.
OpenAI says today the US is advancing A.I. safety through two channels: state laws and federal standards.
The A.I. Action Plan already includes ninety three federal policy actions.
Trump launched the plan in July twenty twenty five. In February, the Pentagon banned Anthropic. Today, OpenAI weighs in.
NIST's new Center for A.I. Standards and Innovation is focused on model evaluation science. A quieter safety, but still safety.
