CAISSI, the Commerce Department's AI model testing agency, moves under White House oversight

CAISSI, the small Commerce Department agency that tests new AI models, is moving to the White House, according to Andrew Curran's post on X. Curran cites Leo Schwartz's report that the Trump administration finalized a plan under which three senior CAISSI officials will report directly to the White House.

The administration says the change is meant to streamline an agency that has long had resource and access problems. The report does not give details on staffing, funding, or how the testing work itself will change.
