OpenAI and Anthropic are bringing in people with Trump administration experience as AI becomes a more prominent national-security issue, CNBC reports.
Why it mattersThe report’s headline says both labs are recruiting Trump officials. The available excerpt gives no names or roles, so the immediate signal is about the industry’s interest in political experience, not the specifics of either appointment.
Discuss: Does hiring officials from government help AI labs navigate national-security policy, or risk blurring the line between policymaking and industry influence?
