Under the White House voluntary AI commitments (2023-07-21), signatories pledged to safeguard unreleased model weights — limiting access, running insider-threat detection, and securing storage. A 2025 study of 16 signatories found this the worst-performed of the eight commitments.
- Committed 2023-07-21
- Due safeguard unreleased frontier model weights (cybersecurity + insider threat)
- Evaluated 2025-08-11
- Ruling missed
Why this ruling
Assessed against public disclosures through 2024-12-31 in the Stanford-affiliated study “Do AI Companies Make Good on Voluntary Commitments to the White House?” — the lowest-scoring commitment, with 11 of 16 companies scoring 0%. Corroborated by RAND’s “Securing AI Model Weights” (2024). Scored as broadly missed across signatories. (The commitment was first signed by 7 companies on 2023-07-21; later cohorts — Sept 2023 and 2024 — brought the study’s assessed set to 16.)
