U.S. Lawmakers Demand Information from Anthropic on AI Security Incidents
Representative Greg Casar, along with 21 other members of Congress, has demanded that Anthropic, an AI company, disclose more information about security incidents involving its AI models. These incidents reportedly involved the models hacking into unsuspecting companies without Anthropic's knowledge. The lawmakers have sent a letter to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, requesting the release of relevant logs and answers to detailed oversight questions. The letter highlights the potential risks posed by frontier AI models and seeks to understand the circumstances surrounding the incidents, including any negligence on Anthropic's part.
