Former White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks said the White House grew concerned that Anthropic’s AI systems could pose cyber weapon risks after reported jailbreak issues and escalating disputes over the rollout of its "Fable" model.
White House Alarm Over AI Jailbreak Claims
On Saturday, speaking on the "All-In Podcast," Sacks said he received readouts from White House officials and private companies suggesting rising national security concerns that Anthropic’s models could function as a "cyber weapon."
"What this comes down to is a couple of things," Sacks said, describing internal government concern that the company’s models had advanced cyber capabilities.
He said officials were especially concerned after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reportedly described an earlier system as having powerful offensive cyber potential.
