White House is again opposing Anthropic’s plans.
Donald J. Trump’s administration is reportedly fighting AI company Anthropic’s plan to expand access to its Claude Mythos tool.
The powerful AI device is apparently so dangerous that company execs have warned it ‘could cause a wave of hacks and terror attacks if it fell into the wrong hands’.
The New York Post reported:
Anthropic recently proposed giving an additional 70 companies access to Mythos, bringing the total number to 120 organizations, sources familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.
Just earlier this month, the firm announced ‘Project Glasswing’, a plan to provide the model to a select group of handpicked companies including Amazon, Google and JPMorgan.”
“White House officials have told Anthropic that they are against the move to broaden the rollout because of security concerns, sources said.”
Anthropic itself showed that Mythos could exploit electric grids, power plants and hospitals if hacked.
“Some Trump administration officials are also reportedly concerned that Anthropic does not have enough computing power to serve both government agencies and the additional companies. A White House official told The Post that the Trump administration is actively engaging with the private sector while trying to balance innovation and security.”
