NSA Collaborates with Anthropic on Mythos AI for Cyber Operations Amid Controversy
The National Security Agency (NSA) is reportedly working with Anthropic, a company specializing in cybersecurity AI, to integrate its Mythos model into the agency's operations. According to sources cited by the Financial Times, Anthropic has deployed several engineers to assist the NSA in utilizing Mythos for specific applications. The exact nature of these applications remains unclear, as does the extent to which Mythos is currently being used in the NSA's cyber operations. This collaboration comes despite a federal ban on using Anthropic's technology, which was imposed after the Department of Defense labeled the company a 'supply-chain risk.' This designation was a response to Anthropic's refusal to allow its models to be used for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. The NSA, responsible for intelligence collection and offensive cyber operations, has not confirmed or denied these reports, and Anthropic has not commented.
