White House restricts access to latest AI system pending review

The White House announced new restrictions on a forthcoming artificial‑intelligence system. Officials said the system will only be offered to a limited set of partners vetted by the government. The move follows concerns about security and potential misuse of advanced AI tools. The administration cited the need to protect national interests and critical infrastructure. Access will be granted only after partners receive explicit government approval. The policy applies to the system slated for release later this year. Critics argue the step could slow innovation, while supporters stress safety. The administration plans to review the policy as the technology evolves.
