AI chatbot caused concern in the United States after reports of hacking of NSA systems

The Mythos artificial intelligence model from the company Anthropic has caused concern in the United States after reports that it was able to hack into secret systems of the National Security Agency (NSA). This was reported by The Economist magazine.

Mark Warner, deputy chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that General Joshua Rudd, who heads the National Security Agency and the Pentagon's cyber command, told him that Mythos "hacked almost all of our secret systems not in weeks, but in hours," the material says.

It is noted that possible restrictions on the use of advanced AI models abroad are being discussed in the United States. At the same time, such measures are already causing controversy about the difficulty of controlling the spread of powerful technologies.

On June 13, Anthropic announced that it had suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models after receiving an order from the US authorities, citing national security concerns. The company stressed that it complies with the requirements, but does not agree with the decision and expects to restore access to the services in the near future.

U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, amid restrictions on access to the company's advanced AI models, said on June 13 that Washington had done the right thing when it kicked out the artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic from the Pentagon.
