US AI Safety Institute (first director Elizabeth Kelly, ex-Biden NEC; Paul Christiano head of safety) renamed Center for AI Standards and Innovation under Trump — mission recast from safety to 'harnessing and securing' US AI leadership; safety-testing MOUs with OpenAI/Anthropic persisted in altered form. The whiplash exhibit of US AI-policy regime change.
