Three things to watch amid Anthropic's latest feud with the government
Three things to watch amid Anthropic's latest feud with the government Anthropic's standoff with Washington has already raised new questions about AI safety and sovereignty--and about Chinese competition. For those of you enjoying your summer unaware of Anthropic's latest feud with the US government, here's a recap: In April the company said it had built an AI model called Mythos that was so good at working with code it could pose a global cybersecurity threat. Anthropic gave access to a small group of cybersecurity experts so they could see what they were up against.

That Friday, the federal government told the company it was a threat to national security and placed export controls on the new release. Anthropic revoked access to both models hours later.
