The White House is reportedly requiring artificial intelligence companies to report and correct security incidents.
The mandate from the White House Super Intelligence Force came Friday (Oct. 9) after Anthropic disclosed a series of breaches, Axios reported.
“This notification and remediation process is not optional,” the White House said in a statement exclusively shared with the news outlet, adding, “It is a critical national security obligation.”
If so, companies should also disclose international incidents, and an international incident network might not add much value because the raw information might already be publicly available? At the same time, this makes the proposal easier to sell and might force other countries to pay attention and prepare better.
Eight weeks to detect and another month to notify. Two different problems. Your proposal addresses the first. The month after detection was not a visibility failure. It was a decision by a party that already had the information. Note which clause does the work: report once in a common format rather than separately in every market. That is the line that gets this signed, and a regime adopted for its compliance savings will be built to minimize compliance.
The Australia case says it all: eight weeks to detect, another month to tell the affected government. For countries that don't host frontier labs, mandatory reporting in a common format may be the only realistic route to visibility. I'd add compute and cloud providers as a reporting channel. They often see anomalous usage well before a model developer discloses anything.
