June 23 (Reuters) – Anthropic’s Mythos model identified vulnerabilities in highly sensitive U.S. government computer systems during a testing exercise, \u200cthe Associated Press reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Anthropic teamed up with \u200cWashington’s intelligence agencies to conduct tests using Mythos under Project Glasswing, the AP \u200bsaid, referring to a restricted program designed to find and fix vulnerabilities in critical software before attackers could exploit them.<\/p>\n
Senator Mark Warner of Virginia referred to the testing in a congressional hearing this \u200cmonth, saying he \u2060had been informed by National Security Agency chief Joshua Rudd that Mythos “broke into almost all of our \u2060classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours.”<\/p>\n
Citing an unidentified U.S. official, the AP said that although Mythos identified certain vulnerabilities within \u200bhours, that \u200bdid not mean the model \u200bwas able to exploit them \u200cwithin that time.<\/p>\n
The White House, Anthropic and the Department of Defense did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.<\/p>\n
IPO-bound Anthropic’s relationship with the U.S. government has been rocky. The company refused to allow the U.S. military to use its AI models \u200cfor domestic surveillance and fully autonomous \u200bweapons systems and the government retaliated by \u200bputting it on a \u200bnational security blacklist.<\/p>\n
The U.S. government also this month \u200cordered the company to suspend exports \u200bof its latest \u200bMythos and Fable AI models to destinations worldwide and all foreign nationals, citing national security concerns.<\/p>\n
The New York Times \u200breported earlier in \u200cthe day that the NSA lost access to Mythos amid \u200bthe dispute.<\/p>\n
