The House Homeland Security Committee is digging into Anthropic\u2019s AI model Mythos in a series of briefings and hearings, as questions proliferate on whether and how the federal government will make use of the technology touted for its ability to autonomously uncover cyber vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

Wednesday brought a closed-door briefing for the House Homeland Security Committee from Anthropic. The chairman of the panel\u2019s cybersecurity subcommittee said he is planning to hold a hearing on the topic. And committee Democrats are requesting a classified briefing with Anthropic.<\/p>\n

What we saw reinforced the urgency of ensuring that federal agencies, including our civilian cyber defenders, can responsibly access and deploy the most advanced U.S. models to find and patch vulnerabilities before foreign adversaries or criminal actors exploit them.\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of key lawmakers, including top committee Democrat Bennie Thompson of Mississippi and GOP cyber subcommittee chair Andy Ogles of Tennessee, told CyberScoop they weren\u2019t able to attend Wednesday\u2019s briefing. A second source who attended said it was a \u201cproductive\u201d meeting.<\/p>\n

\u201cMembers on both sides were focused on preserving U.S. advantage in AI, which basically came down to preserving our edge on compute power,\u201d the source said. \u201cThey were also asking questions about whether the federal government was using Mythos, including about where CISA is and the impact of the supply chain risk designation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hill reported that Wednesday\u2019s briefing was led on the Anthropic side by Logan Graham, from the company\u2019s frontier red team, and Josh Tilstra, from the firm\u2019s national security programs and policy team. It follows another recent closed briefing with Anthropic and OpenAI for the House…<\/p>\n
