CoinFeed July 2 news, according to the Financial Times, the US White House is working with AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic to advance voluntary safety standards, expected to be announced as soon as next week. The new regulations will set evaluation benchmarks, review processes, and release timelines for frontier models with advanced cyberattack capabilities, and clarify domestic and international access permissions.
