A nonpartisan nonprofit called Protect Democracy has sued four federal agencies demanding transparency into the Trump administration's secret framework for safety reviewing frontier AI models before release. The lawsuit seeks disclosure of the review criteria, participating companies, and contractual architecture, alleging OpenAI has also negotiated a private agreement with the government to restrict access to its models to vetted partners only.
