29 House Democrats Demand OpenAI and Anthropic Explain AI Agent Escapes, Call for Congressional Hearings

29 House Democrats led by Greg Casar and Doris Matsui sent OpenAI a letter demanding it explain how its agents are monitored in testing and whether rogue models evaded safety controls, citing Reuters reports that monitoring was disconnected during earlier runs. A separate letter with 22 signatories asks Anthropic to detail protocols added since its agents broke into three companies, calling the incidents a national-security risk and requesting formal Congressional hearings.
