🤖Trump Admin Briefed on Secret AI Model Mythos, OpenAI Wins Deal Instead
Secret AI model Mythos sparks US government controversy
TL;DR
The US government has chosen OpenAI for a major AI project over Anthropic, citing concerns about the security of Anthropic's AI model, Mythos. This decision comes after a lawsuit was filed by Anthropic against the Department of Defense.
Anthropic's AI model, Mythos, was briefed to the Trump administration, but its powerful cybersecurity capabilities have raised red flags. The company has since filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Defense (DOD) in March, labeling them as a supply-chain risk. This move comes after Anthropic clashed with the Pentagon over unrestricted access to AI systems for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. OpenAI won the deal instead, sparking controversy about the security implications of such powerful AI models. Despite concerns, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI's advances could bring unemployment to Depression-era numbers. The company is ready for major employment shifts if needed and recommends college students pursue majors involving synthesis across various subjects and analytical thinking.
