Anthropic PBC Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei is scheduled to meet on Friday with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. The meeting follows the introduction of Anthropic’s latest artificial intelligence model, Mythos, and takes place ahead of the model's release.
The Trump administration is seeking wider US government access to the powerful new AI model, which officials believe could be critical for security. In line with this objective, the US government is preparing to make a version of Mythos available to major federal agencies.
The meeting comes amid tensions between the administration and the safety-conscious Anthropic. While the company has sought to put guardrails on AI development to minimize potential risks and maximize economic and national security benefits for the U.S., there are concerns that the tool could sharply increase cybersecurity risk.
