EU Lawmakers Rebuke Anthropic for Sending 1 Junior Staffer to AI Safety Hearing

Summary
Brussels lawmakers on Tuesday faulted Anthropic for sending Donny Greenberg—a technical employee who joined in April—to answer European Parliament questions on advanced AI risks.
Sarah Heck, Anthropic's head of public policy, had been the official lawmakers requested, but Greenberg instead appeared by video from New York.
Greenberg underscored the mismatch in his opening remarks, telling the hearing, "I'm a technical person, not a policy person."
The clash highlights European policymakers' push for direct accountability from senior AI executives as scrutiny of advanced model safety intensifies.
