MEDIA ADVISORY: Subcommittee Chairman Ogles Announces Hearing on Frontier AI, Agentic AI Systems, and the Future of Cybersecurity

WASHINGTON, D.C. --Today, Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection Chairman Andy Ogles (R-TN) announced a hearing for Thursday, June 4, to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the cybersecurity landscape and reshaping the resilience of America's critical infrastructure. The hearing will focus on the growing role of frontier AI models, agentic AI systems, and AI-powered coding tools in both strengthening U.S. cyber defenses and enabling increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Members will also consider policy solutions to secure critical infrastructure, strengthen America's domestic technology base, and ensure the United States maintains its leadership in emerging technologies.

The hearing follows a series of Committee engagements with leading AI and cybersecurity stakeholders, including roundtables, a demonstration, and briefings to better understand how advanced AI capabilities are changing the national security and cyber threat landscape. The Committee also recently received a briefing on the new Claude Mythos Preview model and has continued to examine how frontier models may accelerate vulnerability discovery, enable more capable cyber actors, and affect the security of critical infrastructure sectors.

"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. Adversaries are already working to steal American AI capabilities, weaponize AI-enabled tools, infiltrate critical systems, and undermine our national security," Subcommittee Chairman Ogles said. "AI is the America First mission of the future, and it is becoming our number one offensive and defensive weapon against cyber terrorists. 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."

BACKGROUND:

Last week, the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection held a hearing with state-level leaders to discuss the escalating cyber threat landscape, including how frontier models and agentic AI may amplify cyberattacks, expand the attack surface, and increase the need for federal support to help state and local communities secure essential services.

In April, Committee Chairman Andrew R. Garbarino (R-NY) and House Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) launched a joint investigation into the growing adoption of artificial intelligence models developed by the People's Republic of China (PRC). The investigation is examining how the PRC is working to close the AI innovation gap with leading U.S. frontier labs through model distillation, intellectual property theft, and other illicit means, as well as the potential cybersecurity, data security, and critical infrastructure risks associated with the deployment of PRC-developed AI systems in American products and services. As an initial step in the probe, the Chairmen sent letters to Anysphere and Airbnb.

That month, the House Committee on Homeland Security hosted a bipartisan, closed-door demonstration of "jailbroken" AI with presentations from the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center (NCITE). Their latest findings show a troubling trend: extremists are increasingly turning to "uncensored" or "unrestricted" AI models that remove built-in safety guardrails.

On April 23, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy released a memowarning that foreign entities, primarily based in China, are conducting coordinated, industrial-scale campaigns to extract and distill U.S. frontier AI capabilities through proxy accounts and other sophisticated methods. Earlier this year, the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection held a hearing to discuss how the federal government and private sector can more effectively collaborate to build up a forward-leaning cyber posture.

In December 2025, the Subcommittee convened a joint hearing to examine threats stemming from the use of emerging technologies like AI, quantum computing, and hyper-scale cloud infrastructure, as well as how to use this technology to defend our networks from malicious actors. Witnesses included Dr. Logan Graham, department head of the Frontier Red Team at Anthropic; Royal Hansen, vice president of privacy, safety, and security engineering at Google LLC; Eddy Zervigon, chief executive officer of Quantum Xchange; and Michael Coates, founding partner of Seven Hill Ventures.
