Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. 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 barring foreign nationals in the U.S. from using Anthropic\u2019s new models raised alarms.<\/p>\n

Ben Murphy, a scholar at the Institute for Progress think tank, called it \u201canother step on the balkanization of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might previously have been unthinkable to require proof-of-citizenship to access services; it\u2019s increasingly common across new technologies and, to be honest, this attempt is not surprising in that light,\u201d he added in a post on X. <\/p>\n

Murphy also highlighted the unpredictability of the administration\u2019s actions and its consequence for AI developers, warning that labs could keep more models in-house or not make them available.<\/p>\n

In addition, labs might be less inclined toward engaging with the government about potential vulnerabilities, he said, with Anthropic\u2019s stance on being transparent seeming to backfire.<\/p>\n

Anthropic was already feuding with the administration, which has deemed it a supply-chain risk for Pentagon contractors. Still, the company provided early access to the Mythos model as it warned on its potential cybersecurity implications.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know that the government wouldn\u2019t have reached that conclusion themselves, but as a business matter, those pronouncements have not produced a healthy working relationship with the government,\u201d Murphy wrote.<\/p>\n
