Anthropic and EC Discuss AI Models

Anthropic discussed its various AI models with officials from the European Commission. Those models include cybersecurity-focused ones, which are not yet available in the EU.

The AI player has already committed to follow the EU’s general-purpose AI code of practice, according to EC spokesperson Thomas Regnier. “In this framework, there ​is an ​obligation ⁠to assess and mitigate risks ​that could come ​from ⁠a service that may or may not ⁠be ​offered in Europe,” ​Regnier told reporters.

Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei met with senior officials from President Donald Trump’s administration for a productive discussion on how Anthropic and the US government can work together on key shared priorities such as cybersecurity, America’s lead in the AI race, and AI safety. “The meeting reflected Anthropic’s ongoing commitment to engaging with the US government on the development of responsible AI. We are grateful for their time and are looking forward to continuing these discussions.”

The US Treasury Department and other US agencies are reportedly seeking access to Anthropic’s restricted Mythos model amid growing concern over advanced AI dramatically reshaping the cybersecurity threat landscape. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell briefed Wall Street executives earlier this month on the potential negative impact Mythos could have across the cybersecurity sector.

The AI startup introduced its Claude Mythos model on 7 April to a limited number of technology companies including AWS, Apple, Nvidia, and Google instead of making it publicly available In March, the Department of War (DoW) designated Anthropic as a supply-chain risk after the AI company refused to grant the Pentagon unfettered rights to deploy its models over concerns about domestic surveillance and use in lethal autonomous weapons. Two days later, Anthropic filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after it was blacklisted and labelled a threat to US national security.
