Based on insights from individuals with inside knowledge, the Trump administration has been exerting pressure on Meta through email communications. The administration is encouraging Meta to proactively submit its artificial intelligence models for a comprehensive safety review, with the aim of evaluating their operational effectiveness and identifying potential security flaws. This move follows Trump's earlier signing of an executive order, which mandates AI companies to voluntarily present their latest models for government evaluation a full 30 days before their public release. Notably, among prominent developers of AI technology, Meta stands alone in not having forged an agreement with the federal government thus far.
