THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Liam Childers) - Copying China to Defend America?

When it comes to AI, conservatives should embrace free market principles over state intervention. The post Copying China to Defend America? appeared first on The American Conservative .

Foreign Affairs Copying China to Defend America? When it comes to AI, conservatives should embrace free market principles over state intervention.  For much of recent history, China has sought to shed the more onerous aspects of its old command economy. After the disastrous failures of the Great Leap Forward and Maoism further impoverished an already poor nation, a new crop of leaders like Deng Xiaoping pursued market-oriented reforms intended to bring China the prosperity that capitalism had delivered for Western countries like the United States. Now, nearly five decades on, politicians in the United States—including, remarkably,…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Mark A. Jamison) - Beijing Wants to Lock Down AI. Washington Should Open It Up

Spreading American technology is pivotal to winning the contest with China. The post Beijing Wants to Lock Down AI. Washington Should Open It Up appeared first on The American Conservative .

Politics Beijing Wants to Lock Down AI. Washington Should Open It Up Spreading American technology is pivotal to winning the contest with China. When nations believe they possess a strategic technological advantage, they face a choice. They can protect that advantage by restricting access to it. Or they can spread it so widely that the rest of the world gets hooked on their technology. China appears to be choosing the first path. Recent reports indicate that Beijing is considering tighter controls on the export of its most advanced artificial intelligence models, treating frontier AI as a national security asset available to foreign…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Joseph Addington) - U.S. Lifts Export Controls on Anthropic AI Models

State of the Union: Claude Fable 5 will be available for public use Wednesday. The post U.S. Lifts Export Controls on Anthropic AI Models appeared first on The American Conservative .

On Tuesday, AI company Anthropic announced that the U.S. government had lifted export controls on its newest models, following a more than two-week suspension prompted by cybersecurity concerns. Anthropic said that Claude Fable 5 would be available to consumers worldwide starting on Wednesday, although use of the more capable Claude Mythos 5 will remain limited to certain approved organizations. Access to both models had been blocked since June 12, when the Trump Administration imposed restrictions on their use by foreign nationals. The White House was concerned that Anthropic’s safeguards could be bypassed to help identify software vulnerabilities, allowing for disruptive cyberattacks at potentially large scale. In response,…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Harrison Berger) - Five Eyes Warns of AI Threat, Urges Companies to Adopt AI

State of the Union: The move follows the U.S. State Department’s decision to issue export controls over Anthropic’s most advanced model. The post Five Eyes Warns of AI Threat, Urges Companies to Adopt AI appeared first on The American Conservative .

Cybersecurity agencies in the United States and its “Five Eyes” allied nations issued a rare joint statement Monday warning that frontier AI models are expected to fundamentally transform offensive cyber capabilities within months and that adversaries may succeed in developing attacks against Western governments and companies. Signed by agency heads from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the U.S., the communiqué warned leaders they must “act now” as AI increases the “speed, scale and sophistication of cyber threats.” The statement urges western companies to adopt AI models to strengthen their cyberdefenses, in ways the Financial Times described as “de facto outlining an arms race between targets and…Open

THEAMERICANCONSERVATIVE (Andrew Day) - White House Bars Foreign Nationals From Anthropic’s ‘Mythos’ AI

State of the Union: The technology company said it would disable Mythos 5 and Fable 5 for all customers. The post White House Bars Foreign Nationals From Anthropic’s ‘Mythos’ AI appeared first on The American Conservative .

The U.S. government directed the artificial intelligence company Anthropic to block all non-Americans from using two of its most powerful models, the firm announced Friday. Anthropic said in a statement that it would cut off all customers’ access to the models—Fable 5 and Mythos 5—to ensure compliance with the unprecedented directive. Mythos has alarmed U.S. officials because of its ability to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities, helping drive the Trump administration to issue an executive order earlier this month requesting that AI firms grant the government early access to cutting-edge models.  Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick had sent a letter to Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei on Friday informing him that the models would…Open
