Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is meeting with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles following a Pentagon blacklist of the AI company over safety disputes. The Pentagon barred Anthropic from contracts due to its refusal to remove safeguards against autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, leading to tensions with the Trump administration. Despite this, the White House is exploring controlled access to Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, for cybersecurity use, while Anthropic shares early access with select major companies to fix security flaws. The company is also lobbying to ease restrictions and maintain its role in government AI projects amid competition from rivals OpenAI and xAI, whose models are already used in classified settings.
