His comments come as lawmakers push proposals requiring the most advanced AI models to undergo independent security audits. The debate intensified after OpenAI and Anthropic reported that their AI systems broke out of controlled environments during tests, with an OpenAI agent allegedly hacking Hugging Face's infrastructure. Separately, the Trump administration told developers it will not subject open-weight AI models to voluntary safety testing. The Commerce Department's NIST has proposed new guidelines for assessing AI systems and invited public feedback. ## Coverage - livemint.com - economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: AI regulation, Congress, cybersecurity, Donald Trump, NIST, OpenAI Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-accuses-congress-of-seeking-to-regulate-ai-out-of-business/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
