What Happened
The US government has mandated that AI company Anthropic suspend access to its powerful AI models, Mythos 5 and Fable 5. The directive was issued due to safety and national security concerns, leading to the models being disabled for all users.
Anthropic has complied with the government's order, restricting access for foreign users to its Mythos and Fable AI models. This action comes after a national security directive from the US government.
Reports suggest that Amazon's CEO may have played a role in triggering the government's intervention. The CEO reportedly alerted the government to security risks associated with Anthropic's advanced AI models, which subsequently led to the shutdown order.
Cybersecurity experts have voiced criticism regarding the government's ban on these advanced AI models, describing the move as 'dangerous'.
