White House AI Safety Framework Has Loophole: Open-Source Models Exempt

Security researchers point out a potential loophole in the White House's new cybersecurity framework for advanced AI models.
The framework focuses heavily on closed models from top-tier developers like OpenAI and Anthropic while exempting open-source models. This could lead to exploitation, where malicious actors use unvetted open-source models to hack into enterprises without triggering regulatory scrutiny.
