The Vice President JD Vance and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent interrogated top tech industry CEOs on AI model security and how to respond to cyberattacks one week before Anthropic released its new Mythos model, CNBC reported on Friday. Dario Amodei from Anthropic, Sundar Pichai from Alphabet, Sam Altman from OpenAI, Satya Nadella from Microsoft, and leaders from Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike participated in the call, according to the report.
Anthropic declined to comment, while Alphabet, OpenAI, Microsoft, Palo Alto, and CrowdStrike did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comments. Earlier this week, Anthropic launched a powerful AI model but refrained from wide distribution, fearing it could expose hidden vulnerabilities in cybersecurity.
Only a group of about 40 tech heavyweights, including Microsoft and Google, reportedly have access to Anthropic’s “Claude Mythos” model.
The startup stated that it was in discussions with the US government regarding the model’s capabilities.
