Earlier this month the AI company Anthropic said it had created a
model so powerful that, out of a sense of responsibility, it was
not going to release it to the public. Anthropic says the model,
Mythos Preview, excels at spotting and exploiting vulnerabilities
in software, and could pose a severe risk to economies, public
safety and national security. But is this the whole story? Some
experts have expressed scepticism about the extent of the model’s
capabilities. Ian Sample hears from Aisha Down, a reporter covering
artificial intelligence for the Guardian, to find what the decision
to limit access to Mythos reveals about Anthropic’s strategy, and
whether the model might finally spur more regulation of the
industry.. Help support our independent journalism at
