Research leading to US restrictions on Anthropic models wasn’t a jailbreak, cybersecurity CEO says<\/a><\/p>\n

Research that caused the Commerce Department to impose strict limits on the use of Anthropic\u2019s new AI models wasn\u2019t geared toward offensive purposes, according to a cybersecurity CEO who saw the findings.<\/p>\n

Late Friday, the department used national security export controls to bar the company from distributing\u00a0Fable 5 and Mythos 5. <\/p>\n

The directive applies to people outside the U.S. and foreign nationals in the U.S., including Anthropic\u2019s own non-citizen employees. Due to the directive\u2019s scope, Anthropic said it had no choice but to disable the models for all users.<\/p>\n

The company said it was told that research on a \u201cjailbreak\u201d of Anthropic\u2019s AI that sought to probe bypassing of safeguards sparked the export controls. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe disagree that the finding of a narrow potential jailbreak should be cause for recalling a commercial model deployed to hundreds of millions of people,\u201d Anthropic wrote in a blog post. \u201cIf this standard was applied across the industry, we believe it would essentially halt all new model deployments for all frontier model providers.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the company reaffirmed the government\u2019s ability to block unsafe AI, it argued that should be part of a statutory process that\u2019s transparent fair, and based on technical facts. \u201cThis action does not adhere to those principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katie Moussouris, CEO of cybersecurity firm Luta Security, told the Wall Street Journal that Anthropic showed her a copy of the findings, which were produced by\u00a0Amazon researchers using prompts to obtain information about security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen the paper. It\u2019s not a jailbreak. It was Defense Oriented Prompting (DOP), capabilities defenders need,\u201d she explained in a post on X on Saturday. <\/p>\n

Moussouris added, \u201cIf Nat defense is the goal, this just scored an own goal against us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amazon and the Commerce Department didn\u2019t immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the administration\u2019s directive…<\/p>\n
