OpenAI and Anthropic hire former Trump officials as AI labs court Washington
OpenAI and Anthropic are hiring people who previously served in the Trump administration, CNBC reported, as the labs add political experience to their Washington-facing teams. The report says frontier tech is increasingly treated as a national security issue, pushing AI companies toward politically experienced hires. No specific names or roles were disclosed.
Why it matters: It signals that leading AI labs now treat policy and government relations as a core part of competing at the frontier.
