Protect Democracy sues for Trump’s secret AI safety-review rules

· opgehaald 09:13

Nonprofit Protect Democracy sued four federal agencies to force disclosure of the White House’s voluntary frontier-model safety-review framework and GOLD EAGLE partners by Sep 30.

On 2 Sep 2026 Ars Technica reported that Protect Democracy sued the Office of the National Cyber Director, OSTP, Treasury, and Commerce over FOIA delays on Trump’s voluntary frontier AI safety-review framework. The group says almost no details—criteria, participants, or legal authority—are public despite the framework and GOLD EAGLE clearinghouse already reviewing models. It seeks unclassified records by 30 Sep and cites risks of favoritism, retaliation (Anthropic blacklist ruling), and opaque “trusted partner” access deals such as OpenAI’s. Congress is also in the dark ahead of a CISA reauthorization tied to GOLD EAGLE liability shields.
