It poses a national security threat, the AI startup said, such as by possibly enabling offensive cyber operations.

Some lawmakers and executives say the era of AI-hacking has arrived, while other experts are pointing out the tools of today still fall short in important ways.  

Aikido found that AI coding tools from Google, Anthropic, OpenAI and others regularly embed untrusted prompts into software development workflows.

The House Homeland Security Committee asked Dario Amodei to answer questions about the implications of the attack and how policymakers and AI companies can respond.
