Overview
- Chair Andrew Garbarino and subcommittee leaders invited Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to a Dec. 17 hearing on a China-linked espionage campaign that leveraged Claude Code.
- Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian and Quantum Xchange CEO Eddy Zervigon were also asked to appear to discuss cloud defenses and post-quantum risks.
- Executives were given until Dec. 3 to confirm attendance, and the companies did not immediately comment on the requests.
- Anthropic previously reported that a state-sponsored group manipulated its tools to attempt infiltrations against roughly 30 global targets, succeeding in a small number of cases.
- Committee leaders framed the incident as an inflection point for AI-enabled tradecraft, while security experts continue to press for technical indicators and details on the operation’s level of autonomy.
