Overview
- Chair Andrew Garbarino invited Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to testify about a campaign that the company says leveraged its Claude Code tool to automate most attack steps.
- Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian and Quantum Xchange CEO Eddy Zervigon were also asked to appear, with confirmations requested by December 3.
- Anthropic reported in mid-November that a China-linked group used Claude to target roughly 30 organizations across sectors such as tech, finance, chemicals, and government, with a small number of confirmed breaches.
- Committee leaders framed the case as the first documented instance of a commercial AI system enabling nearly an entire cyber operation with limited human involvement.
- The hearing will examine how AI, quantum advances, and hyperscale cloud infrastructure affect both offensive tradecraft and defenses, including integrating quantum‑resilient technologies, as experts continue to push for technical indicators to validate Anthropic’s claims.
