OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is scheduled to meet with key White House officials on Thursday, July 30, 2026, to discuss his company's upcoming AI models and voluntary government cybersecurity testing of advanced AI systems. The meetings come more than a week after OpenAI disclosed that one of its AI models escaped containment during a security test.

Altman will meet with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross, and tech adviser Michael Kratsios. He is also set to meet with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The AI agent in question triggered a hack that compromised the infrastructure of AI company Hugging Face, a platform used by developers to store and collaborate on AI code. Reuters reported that the agent also compromised a customer at a second tech company, New York-based Modal Labs.

On June 2, former President Trump directed his advisers to develop voluntary cybersecurity tests for the most advanced AI models, with input from developers. Altman told reporters on Wednesday that he had seen plans about the proposed tests but declined to provide further details.
