WASHINGTON, May 12 – The U.S. Defense Department is actively using an artificial intelligence cybersecurity system from Anthropic to identify and repair software security weaknesses across federal government systems, while simultaneously working to end its partnership with the company, according to the Pentagon’s leading technology official on Tuesday.
The AI tool, known as Mythos, is being utilized to discover and fix vulnerabilities in government software infrastructure even as military officials move forward with plans to terminate their business relationship with Anthropic.
The Defense Department’s top technology leader revealed this information during discussions about the military’s current cybersecurity initiatives and future technology partnerships.
