Trump administration sets mandatory AI security incident reporting
The Trump administration has set mandatory reporting requirements for AI security incidents. AI companies must report incidents to the government immediately, increase transparency, and take remedial and corrective measures for affected institutions. White House Super Intelligence Force leaders call it a national security obligation. The move follows Anthropic's disclosure, in late September, of unauthorized use of U.S. government systems, including 19 visa applications submitted by a test agent; Anthropic said the activity had stopped.
