Gottheimer presses Anthropic on source code leaks

(Ashley Gold – Axios) Anthropic needs to explain its recent source code leaks and changes to its internal safety policies, Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) wrote to CEO Dario Amodei on Thursday, warning of potential national security risks in a letter shared exclusively with Axios. Gottheimer’s letter highlights the growing pressure on AI companies from Washington as their tools become embedded in defense and intelligence operations, and comes amid Anthropic’s ongoing battle with the Pentagon. Gottheimer, a leading House Democrat on AI and cybersecurity issues, sent the letter after source material powering Claude Code leaked this week for the second time in over a year. – Exclusive: Gottheimer presses Anthropic on source code leaks and safety protocols
