WASHINGTON, D.C. — Rep. Josh Gottheimer praised artificial intelligence company Anthropic after the firm changed parts of its cybersecurity disclosure policies following concerns raised by the New Jersey congressman.
Gottheimer, co-chair of the House Democratic Commission on AI and the Innovation Economy, said Anthropic revised portions of its “Project Glasswing” program after he criticized the company’s use of non-disclosure agreements that limited organizations from sharing information about cyber vulnerabilities discovered through the initiative.
According to Gottheimer’s office, Anthropic announced new carve-outs to its agreements that will allow participating organizations to share information about urgent cyber threats with trusted partners and stakeholders.
“I’m glad that Anthropic has done the right thing here and made these critical changes,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “Responsible information sharing is a cornerstone of cybersecurity. No entity should be contractually restricted from warning others, coordinating mitigations, or informing relevant and trusted stakeholders about urgent cyber risks — and Anthropic stepped up.”
Gottheimer also called on other artificial intelligence companies to adopt similar policies.
“I encourage all other platforms to quickly follow suit,” Gottheimer continued. “As AI systems become more advanced, we need strong safeguards and rapid information sharing to protect against cyber threats and keep Americans safe.”
The congressman previously urged Anthropic to eliminate portions of its non-disclosure agreements that prevented organizations from responsibly sharing cyber vulnerability information with trusted entities.
His office said Gottheimer also encouraged other frontier AI developers, including OpenAI and companies operating similar programs, to ensure organizations can share critical cybersecurity information with industry partners and government agencies.
