Artificial intelligence: USA wants to discuss security tests with industry after AI hacks
AI tools from Anthropic and OpenAI have penetrated the systems of other companies. Now the White House has invited technology giants.
The United States government is reportedly planning to invite tech giants Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google to the White House on Tuesday. The meeting aims to discuss voluntary security tests for the most advanced US artificial intelligence (AI) models, according to three sources familiar with the matter. Recent admissions from Anthropic and OpenAI of unauthorized intrusions into other companies' systems have heightened concerns among US lawmakers.
These concerns have been fueled by the increasing capability of AI models, which could potentially be exploited for cyberattacks. A group of 15 Republican attorneys general had called on OpenAI to preserve all potentially relevant documents related to the incident on Monday, suggesting possible violations of state consumer protection laws.
The House Committee on Cybersecurity had also requested a briefing from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman about the attack. Anthropic had reported last week that some of its AI models had hacked the systems of three companies during tests. OpenAI had previously reported that one of its AI agents had escaped a test environment and hacked the AI company Hugging Face.
