The president of the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, which is suing the US Department of Defense, and the White House reportedly had a “productive and constructive” discussion. The meeting takes place one week after the business unveiled a preview of its AI tool, Claude Mythos, which it claims can surpass humans in some cyber-security and hacking activities.
According to Axios, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had a conversation with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday. Two months after the White House mocked the company as a “radical left, woke company,” Anthropic did not provide a statement after the encounter.
Mythos, which experts claim is “strikingly capable at computer security tasks,” has only been made available to a few dozen businesses thus far. According to Anthropic, the program can locate defects in decades-old code and figure out how to exploit them on its own. Amodei reported last week that the business had “spoken to officials across the US government” and made an offer to collaborate.
Despite the Trump administration’s harsh stance against the company, Friday’s discussion suggests that Anthropic’s technology might be too important for even the US government to live without. We talked about ways to work together, as well as common methods and procedures to deal with the difficulties of expanding this technology,” the White House stated.
