White House reverses course and restores UK AI Safety Institute's access to frontier models
The White House has reversed its earlier decision to block the UK AI Safety Institute (AISI) from accessing new AI models, and the institute will regain early access to models from Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI. According to The Daily Telegraph, the Trump administration asked these companies in September to stop sharing models with AISI, and Anthropic subsequently restricted access to its new model Claude Mythos 5.1. Following diplomatic pressure from AI minister Kanishka Narayan, the ban was lifted. Narayan plans to announce new AI safety measures in an upcoming speech, including stricter reporting requirements for AI safety incidents involving critical infrastructure.
