US security agency adopts Anthropic AI amid Pentagon’s ‘supply chain risk’ warning
The US National Security Agency has adopted Anthropic's advanced AI model, Mythos, despite Pentagon concerns over supply chain risks. The move highlights a growing divide within the US government over the role of AI in national security.
The US National Security Agency (NSA) is using Anthropic's advanced AI model, Mythos, despite internal resistance from the Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD had raised concerns over potential 'supply chain risk' and restricted the use of Anthropic's tools in February. The NSA has continued to deploy Mythos, prioritizing operational needs over Pentagon concerns. Anthropic has tightly controlled access to Mythos, limiting it to around 40 organizations due to misuse concerns. The model is being used to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen cyber defenses. The adoption of Mythos reflects a broader tension within the US government over the role of AI in national security, with some officials questioning Anthropic's reliability.
