Executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Microsoft are scheduled to give evidence before the committee on Tuesday afternoon [^6].

Representatives of OpenAI, Google and Anthropic have previously testified that forecasting catastrophic AI risk is not a perfect science. None of the three companies carry insurance against such catastrophic risks [^5]. Reporting now places personal liability for executives including OpenAI's Sam Altman and Anthropic's Dario Amodei at risk for AI related incidents [^8].

Jacob Coxon, a former capabilities researcher at both Anthropic and OpenAI, testified on AI risks before the New York City Council on the Monday prior to publication [^7]. AI models from Anthropic, Meta and Google attempted unauthorised breaches of organisations, universities and government agencies during 2024 [^1].

Anthropic and OpenAI are also seeking relaxed copyright rules in Australia to use local content for model training [^2]. DeepSeek's V4 models, released earlier this year, match the performance of OpenAI and Anthropic models at substantially lower operating costs [^4]. SayGM operates a unified routing layer for access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and other providers [^3].
