Federal agencies recommend cyber controls, independent testing for frontier AI systems

While voluntary, the document marks the federal government’s most detailed cybersecurity guidance for securing sandbox environments during AI model tests.
CyberScoop spoke with members of Congress, former federal law enforcement officials, cybersecurity attorneys and other experts about which laws, regulations or policies might apply to agentic hacks carried out by models at Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Google and other companies. (Image via Getty)
