# House panel poised to hold hearing centered on AI impact on cyber

A House subcommittee will hold an open hearing next week on how frontier artificial intelligence models are shaping the cybersecurity landscape, for good and for ill.

The June 4 hearing will be the second the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection has held that was focused at least in part on the subject, following a similar hearing held in [December](https://homeland.house.gov/hearing/the-quantum-ai-and-cloud-landscape-examining-opportunities-vulnerabilities-and-the-future-of-cybersecurity/). But unlike at that joint subcommittee hearing, where members also examined other emerging technologies, AI takes center stage next week.

It caps a [series of closed-door meetings](https://cyberscoop.com/house-homeland-security-briefing-anthropic-mythos-cyber-risks/) of the Homeland panel where members and staff have been evaluating the intersection of AI and cyber. CyberScoop is first to report details on the hearing.

The witnesses will be Sandra Joyce, vice president of Google Threat Intelligence; Chris Meserole, executive director of the Frontier Model Forum; and Jack Cable, a former top official at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and now chief executive officer and co-founder of Corridor Security.

“Communist China is moving aggressively to control the technologies that will define the future of economic and military power, and few technologies are more consequential than artificial intelligence,” subcommittee chairman Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a written statement. “Adversaries are already working to steal American AI capabilities, weaponize AI-enabled tools, infiltrate critical systems and undermine our national security.”

“AI is the America First mission of the future, and it is becoming our number one offensive and defensive weapon against cyber terrorists,” he continued. “I look forward to hearing from our witnesses on how we can stay ahead of AI-enabled cyber threats, protect the services Americans rely on and win this AI arms race.”

The hearing is the latest response from Capitol Hill to the [spate of news](https://cyberscoop.com/gchq-warns-ai-cyber-warfare-threats/) about the capabilities of advanced AI models to uncover cyber vulnerabilities. Earlier this month, for instance, [lawmakers wrote](https://latta.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=406786) to National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross asking for a plan to deal with the potential surge in vulnerability discovery stemming from such models.

Last week, the Trump administration [postponed a draft AI executive order](https://cyberscoop.com/trump-postpones-executive-order-focused-on-ai-security/). It’s something lawmakers are likely to ask about at next week’s hearing.
