Vance and Bessent Grilled AI CEOs on Model Security
VP Vance and Treasury's Bessent questioned Amodei, Altman, and other tech leaders about AI security and cyber threats.
Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sat down with top AI executives last week to press them on a critical question: how secure are your models, and what happens when cyberattacks come knocking?
The meeting included Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman, among other leading tech CEOs. The questioning took place a week before the release of Mythos, adding urgency to the conversation around AI model security.
The focus was sharp — safeguarding AI systems from cyber threats and establishing how the industry plans to respond when attacks hit. No soft pitches here. The administration wanted specifics from the people building the most powerful AI systems on the planet.
Details on what commitments, if any, emerged from the meeting remain thin.
