Clayton also alluded to adding more firms to the accord. Officials including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross also gave an update on the pre-release testing of AI models being conducted at the National Institute of Standards & Technology’s AI unit. The task force wants Congress to reauthorize cyber and information-sharing related bills and is still assessing whether it wants to recommend the passage of new bills.
Notably, the ongoing Nvidia scandal was not discussed during the meeting, the official said.
