Anthropic co-founder confirms the company briefed the Trump administration on Mythos
Summary
Jack Clark, a co-founder of Anthropic, has confirmed that the AI company briefed the Trump administration on its new, highly dangerous AI model called Mythos. This model, which is not being released to the public due to its alleged powerful cybersecurity capabilities, was discussed with the government despite Anthropic's ongoing lawsuit against the Department of Defense over supply chain risk labeling. Clark characterized the dispute as a "narrow contracting dispute" and emphasized Anthropic's commitment to national security, stating the government needs to be aware of revolutionary AI developments. He also touched upon AI's societal impacts, including employment, suggesting that while Anthropic is monitoring potential weaknesses in graduate employment, the most valuable college majors will involve synthesis and analytical thinking across various subjects.
