The CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, had a "productive" meeting with White House officials to discuss the cybersecurity risks of the new AI model, Mythos.

The CEO of the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, Dario Amodei, had a meeting on Friday with top officials from the White House, including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The discussions focused on the cybersecurity risks associated with the company's new AI model, Mythos, and the ethical use of artificial intelligence. Although no immediate announcements were made, the White House described the meeting as constructive, in contrast to previous criticisms of the company.

In recent months, the Trump administration has classified Anthropic as a risk to national security, prohibiting federal agencies from using its products. However, some government offices are now seeking to evaluate the potential of the Mythos model, despite the restrictions. The Office of Management and Budget is exploring the possibility of allowing agencies to use a "modified" version of Mythos. Additionally, officials from the White House's cybersecurity office are collaborating with the private sector to address challenges related to cybersecurity. This collaboration could have significant implications for the AI industry and for the security of critical software in the U.S.
