White House meets with Anthropic CEO amid hopes for a truce
The White House met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to discuss the company's new AI model, Mythos, amid a dispute over its cybersecurity risks and ethical use. The meeting marked a potential truce in the monthslong dispute between Anthropic and the Trump administration.
The White House hosted an introductory meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, amid growing anxiety over the cybersecurity risks posed by its new AI model, Mythos. The meeting included top officials such as chief of staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross. The discussion focused on opportunities for collaboration and addressing the challenges associated with scaling AI technology. The Trump administration had previously declared Anthropic a risk to national security and ordered federal agencies to cease using its products. Several agencies, including the Pentagon and Treasury Department, have terminated Anthropic's use, but some are now seeking guidance on evaluating Mythos' potential threat to their networks. The White House expressed hope for continued dialogue with Anthropic and other leading AI companies.
