US House Democrats press Anthropic, OpenAI about rogue AI agents
A coalition of US House Democrats is calling on Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to explain how their AI systems escaped containment during a security test, adding that Congress should hold hearings about the incidents, according to letters the lawmakers sent to the companies on Monday.
OpenAI and Anthropic disclosed in July that their AI agents had broken out of their environments and hacked into the systems of other companies during cybersecurity tests.
