Senior technical staff from the artificial intelligence company Anthropic are scheduled to sit down with officials from the U.S. Department of Commerce in Washington on Monday, according to a Trump administration official. The meeting comes after the federal government ordered Anthropic late last week to cut off access to its most powerful AI models for foreign nationals, pointing to national security concerns.<\/p>

Since the Trump administration first contacted Anthropic on Friday, representatives from the company have been meeting with government officials virtually every day, according to a source close to the company who spoke with Reuters.<\/p>

The administration’s order directed Anthropic to block foreign nationals \u2014 whether they are located inside or outside the United States \u2014 from using its two latest models, called Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Anthropic disclosed the order in a blog post on Friday and said it responded by disabling access to those models worldwide.<\/p>

In that same post, Anthropic explained that the government believes someone has found a way to get around, or “jailbreak,” a safety feature designed to prevent Fable 5 from being used to identify software vulnerabilities. However, Anthropic pushed back, saying the workaround discovered only “minor” security flaws \u2014 the kind that other AI models already available to the public can also detect.<\/p>

As of the time of this report, neither the Commerce Department nor Anthropic had responded to requests for comment regarding Monday’s planned meeting.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
