Trump on Anthropic AI: "People get put in prison immediately

Donald Trump says Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei responded "very responsibly" to White House concerns about the AI company's technology. Trump noted that issues involving national security and advanced AI cannot be taken lightly, stating that "People get put in prison immediately for that." What's interesting is that Trump's view of Anthropic has shifted. He said that a week ago, he might have considered the company a national security threat, but not now. This change followed discussions and meetings, including during the G7 summit. The comments come after the Trump administration restricted access to Anthropic's AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, for foreign nationals and users outside the US. These restrictions arose from an Amazon report highlighting a potential vulnerability in Anthropic's AI systems. The two sides are now working on standards to evaluate AI security. Trump indicated that Anthropic's handling of the situation eased concerns within the administration. He doesn't currently see a need to use emergency powers against the company, emphasizing that maintaining US leadership in artificial intelligence is a priority. This highlights the ongoing tension between rapid AI development and national security concerns.
