In addition to the Kill Switch Act, a bipartisan group of six U.S. House ​lawmakers also proposed legislation that would require developers of the most powerful AI models to submit them for independent security audits, according to a copy of the new bill. The auditors would be accredited by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the department would create a new position to oversee AI security.

The agent triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure of AI startup Hugging Face, a platform where developers store and work ⁠together on code for AI models. Trump's tech ​adviser, ​Michael Kratsios, was briefed on OpenAI's disclosure and is ​monitoring the situation, a White House official said.
