The US government's small AI safety testing centre has no permanent leader, has stopped publishing and is now reporting to the White House, AP says

The Associated Press reports that the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence, a Commerce Department division that assesses new AI products, has no permanent leader and has stopped publishing its research. According to two former officials, its staff were recently asked to report informally to a White House office, which critics say could politicise its findings.

• Do not assume an AI product has been independently safety-tested by the US government, and check the company's own safety notes and your own settings for anything involving kids, health or money.
• If you build or sell AI services, keep your own record of what you tested and what the tool cannot do, rather than leaning on a government stamp of safety.
