NSA Deploys Anthropic's Mythos AI Model in Cyber Ops Against China and Iran
The US National Security Agency is utilizing Anthropic's Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations, marking a significant development in the use of AI in national security. This move comes amidst Anthropic's ongoing legal dispute with the Pentagon over the use of its AI models.
Anthropic has reportedly stationed about half a dozen engineers directly at the NSA to adapt its Mythos AI model for offensive cyber operations. The model could be used to break into networks in China or Iran. That fits Anthropic's broader stance: the company's promises around restricting AI use, for mass surveillance, for example, explicitly apply only to US citizens.
