A Commerce Department office tasked with evaluating AI safety, the Center for Advancing Innovation and Standards for Super Intelligence (CAISSI), has stopped publicly releasing its safety research and has no permanent director, according to an Associated Press report cited by Fox News. Staff were recently asked to report informally to a White House office; the center has a $10 million annual budget. The White House did not directly address the AP's questions but pointed to President Trump's newly established Super Intelligence Force, and Humans First chairwoman Amy Kremer called for a congressional investigation. Supporters of closer coordination argue it could give the center more prominence and funding.
