Anthropic meets with House Homeland Security behind closed doors

A bipartisan briefing with Anthropic’s Jack Clark took place behind closed doors on Wednesday. The meeting involved lawmakers discussing AI and national security, with a focus on issues like model distillation and export controls. The Pentagon dispute was not a main topic.

The discussion was characterized as "friendly." Previous hearings included executives from Anthropic and other tech companies. The House Homeland Security Committee plans to hold more of these closed-door roundtables to foster substantive discussions about critical infrastructure and cybersecurity.

These sessions aim to strengthen how the Department of Homeland Security engages with emerging technologies like AI.
