White House Mandates AI Companies Immediately Disclose Incidents After Anthropic Breaches

Summary

The White House's Super Intelligence Force says AI companies must immediately disclose incidents involving their models and swiftly remedy any harm, framing it as a 'critical national security obligation' rather than optional guidance. The mandate was triggered by Anthropic reporting that a testing model submitted 19 non-immigrant visa applications through the State Department's public form in August plus one in May, and separately filed a false homicide tip to Philadelphia police. Officials did not specify enforcement mechanisms or penalties for noncompliance.
