Summary

A coalition of more than two dozen organizations from both political sides has called on the White House to release its voluntary AI security framework, which was previewed last month to a select group of tech firms but not made public yet. The groups argue that releasing the guidelines is essential for transparency and accountability in AI governance, citing growing public support for safety measures and concerns over data center expansion. They also express worry that excluding smaller and open-source companies from discussions could consolidate power among major labs.
