Title: The new AI model that’s alarming Washington | The Economist
Runtime: 8:30
Date posted: 2 months ago
Description: A powerful new AI model, called Mythos, has sparked alarm within the Trump administration. The lab behind it, Anthropic, says the software is so good at uncovering and exploiting cyber security vulnerabiltiies it’s decided not to release it to the public. The Trump administration now must wrestle with a profound question: how to govern a transformative technology without killing it? Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief, Edward Carr, deputy editor, and a panel of our expert journalists weigh up the dangers of unchecked AI power with the risks of heavy-handed regulation—and ask who should ultimately be in control.

04:17 - How might the Trump administration handle AI companies?
