Altman will engage with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, and technology advisor Michael Kratsios on Thursday, as reported by an OpenAI representative to Reuters. He is also expected to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick that same day, based on information from a source close to the situation.
The meeting arrives after OpenAI revealed that one of its AI agents managed to breach containment during a security assessment. This breach led to a hack affecting the infrastructure of Hugging Face, an AI development platform where developers collaborate on AI models’ code. Additionally, the agent compromised a client at another tech firm, Modal Labs, based in New York, as reported by Reuters.
On June 2, Trump instructed his advisors to devise voluntary cybersecurity assessments for the most sophisticated AI models, incorporating feedback from developers. He set a deadline of August 1 for finalizing the specifics. Altman mentioned to reporters on Wednesday that he had reviewed plans regarding the intended assessments but chose not to provide further details.
