US President Donald Trump said he \u2060might have \u2060viewed artificial intelligence company Anthropic as a national security threat last week, but he no longer does, according to an interview with “The Axios \u200cShow”.<\/p>\n

Senior Anthropic technical \u200cstaff \u200cwere scheduled to meet with Trump \u200cadministration officials earlier this week \u2060to discuss a dispute over foreign access to its most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.<\/p>\n

The company last week disabled access \u200bfor all users to those models after Trump ordered Anthropic to block foreign nationals \u2060from accessing them.<\/p>\n

When asked if he viewed Anthropic, or its CEO Dario Amodei, as a threat to national security, Trump said: “Well, not now, but a week ago, maybe.”<\/p>\n

Trump told Axios that Amodei responded to the administration’s export control directive “very \u200bquickly” and “responsibly.”<\/p>\n

The US President and other \u2060G7 leaders met with tech bosses, \u2060including Amodei, at a summit in France this week.<\/p>\n

Trump did \u200bnot rule out using emergency powers under the Defense \u200cProduction Act \u2060against Anthropic, according to Axios.<\/p>\n

“I have the power to use a lot of things,” Trump said of the DPA. “But I’m \u200cnot sure I have to do that.”<\/p>\n

Asked to comment on Trump’s interview, an Anthropic spokesperson said: “We are grateful to the administration for their ongoing \u200bpartnership in working to get this matter resolved as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

“We remain committed to working alongside them towards our \u200cshared goals \u2060of protecting critical infrastructure \u200band making sure the US leads in AI.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"US President Donald Trump said he \u2060might have \u2060viewed artificial intelligence company Anthropic as a national security threat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":752702,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,105],"class_list":["post-752701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=752701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/752701\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752702"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=752701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=752701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=752701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
