Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark met with House Homeland Security Committee lawmakers from both parties in a private briefing on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the meeting. The session focused primarily on technical AI issues including model distillation and export controls, with minimal discussion of the company's ongoing legal dispute with the Pentagon.
The meeting represents Anthropic's continued engagement with Congress on national security and AI policy, even as the company pursues litigation against the federal government over its designation as a supply chain risk. Clark recently transitioned to a new role as head of public benefit as Anthropic expands its Washington D.C. presence.
