"The White House said afterwards that the 'introductory meeting' had been 'productive and constructive,' adding: 'We discussed opportunities for collaboration, as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling this technology.'"
"One concern is that Mythos and other cutting edge AI tools could allow nefarious hackers to breach the U.S. financial system. Alternatively, companies and government agencies could utilize Mythos to harden their cyber defenses before bad actors get access."
"Bessent joined the meeting because 'he wants to make sure everyone is on the same page,' a source familiar with his thinking said. 'He understands this is a private company but there is a role for government to play here.'"
"Anthropic is still fighting the 'supply chain risk' designation, which the Pentagon applied after the company refused to make its software available to the military for 'all lawful uses.'"
The White House meeting with Anthropic was described as productive, focusing on collaboration opportunities and safety protocols for scaling AI technology. Concerns were raised about the potential misuse of Anthropic's Mythos Preview model, which has advanced cyber capabilities. Government agencies, including the Treasury, expressed interest in accessing this technology to enhance cyber defenses. Anthropic is also contesting a Pentagon designation related to supply chain risks due to its refusal to allow military use of its software for certain applications, emphasizing ethical considerations in AI deployment.
