WASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - ⁠Meta, Anthropic, Google and OpenAI staff will meet ⁠with U.S. President Donald Trump's advisers on ‌Tuesday about voluntary safety testing for advanced AI models, according to four sources familiar with the meeting, as concerns over rogue ​AI agents grow.

The meeting follows ⁠disclosuresfrom OpenAI and Anthropic ⁠that their AI tools breached the systems of other ⁠companies. ‌The hacks raised concerns among U.S. lawmakers about whether increasingly capable AI models could ⁠be used to conduct or facilitate cyberattacks.

The ​White House ‌meeting will focus on the U.S. government's efforts ⁠to measure ​the hacking capabilities of the most advanced American AI models, according to the sources.

The Trump administration in June ⁠said it would ask the companies ​developing those models to voluntarily submit them for government tests up to 30 days before they plan to ⁠release them to the public.

In a statement on Monday, the Trump White House said the testing details were finished, but did not say whether it ​would release them to the ⁠public.

The Trump administration has said little in public beyond ​that U.S. officials are monitoring ‌the OpenAI hack. OpenAI CEO ​Sam Altman visited the White House last week.
