Experts suggest that it could collapse America\u2019s cybersecurity infrastructure, putting Americans\u2019 data, finances and national security at risk.<\/p>\n<p>Weeks later, Congress has still done little to address the Mythos problem. Capitol Hill is no closer to passing legislative solutions to the problems associated with advanced AI.<\/p>\n<p>The White House\u2019s current focus on pre-deployment testing of public-facing AI products may seem productive, but it fails to address the significant risks emerging inside frontier AI labs.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent report from Model Evaluation and Threat Research, the internal AI models developed by the leading AI companies have the plausible \u201cmeans, motive and opportunity\u201d to run autonomously without human knowledge or permission.<\/p>\n<p>There are now 44 documented incidents of AI agents cheating, overreaching and actively deceiving their operators.<\/p>\n<p>We are living through a live test of America\u2019s preparation to respond to the most powerful AI technology in human history. Washington is failing that test. The federal government has not put into place even the most basic AI safeguards, and if superintelligence is on the horizon, then we are at risk of a catastrophic event.<\/p>\n<p>Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said he is \u201chyper-aware\u201d of the threat posed by AI. More recently, J.P. Morgan\u2019s Jamie Dimon described the Mythos problem as \u201cvery heightened risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They are right. Mythos Preview can spot weaknesses in virtually every computer on earth, already uncovering thousands of vulnerabilities across all major operating systems and web browsers. Anthropic\u2019s head of safety testing, Logan Graham, said other frontier AI companies will reach similar capability within six to 18 months.<\/p>\n<p>After realizing the danger Mythos posed, Anthropic briefed senior federal officials before going public and restricted access to a vetted group of more than 50 critical infrastructure partners through Project Glasswing rather than releasing the model to the general public.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=197\">Threat of teen takeovers in D.C. loom without curfew, as prosecutors eye holding parents accountable<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The White House, once notified, convened quickly and across multiple agencies.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Anthropic acted responsibly in this instance, but its actions were not required by law. We should not have to keep relying on these AI companies, which build and profit from these systems, to do the right thing.<\/p>\n<p>We have to answer a fundamental question: If AI this powerful is going to exist in private hands, then what is the proper role for the federal government? Industry insiders argue that strong private stewardship is preferable to expanding federal authority over a commercial technology.<\/p>\n<p>Many others are less inclined to trust Silicon Valley to act ethically. Whether looking at content moderation or the crisis of social media addiction, we have seen numerous examples of Big Tech failing to serve the public interest.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the federal tool kit matters, yet it is nearly empty. No agency holds pre-deployment review authority. No statute defines what \u201ctoo dangerous to release\u201d actually means.<\/p>\n<p>The latest emergency meetings are useful coordinating mechanisms, but they are not decision-makers in themselves, because no decision-making body exists.<\/p>\n<p>Congressional action is needed, and the most direct legislative response is currently drafted. The Artificial Intelligence Risk Evaluation Act, introduced by Sens. Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal, would establish a mandatory pre-deployment evaluation program at the Department of Energy for advanced AI systems, with civil penalties of at least $1 million per day for noncompliance.<\/p>\n<p>The bill defines \u201cscheming behavior\u201d as behavior by an AI system that deceives its designers, hides capabilities or subverts oversight mechanisms. It also uses language that maps almost directly onto the concealment and sandbox-escape behaviors Anthropic documented in the Mythos Preview system card.<\/p>\n<p>This is a step in the right direction, but a drafted bill alone is not enough.<\/p>\n<p>A narrower alternative is for Project Glasswing to serve as a statutory model for future AI releases, requiring advance government notice before frontier models are deployed and mandating defender access for vetted partners. As the AI Policy Network\u2019s Peter Wildeford noted, \u201cLess responsible companies could be constrained by these requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can discuss and debate the specific legislation at hand, but inaction is unacceptable. When AI is this potent, securing it is our greatest priority. The strength of America\u2019s legislative framework for secure AI must match the urgency of the moment and the capability of Mythos-level technology (or worse). Otherwise, the consequences could be existential.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=195\">Harvard caps A\u2019s at 20% of students to curb rampant grade inflation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>\u2022 Riki Parikh serves as policy director at The Alliance for Secure AI.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In April, artificial intelligence company Anthropic released the most capable AI model ever built: Claude Mythos Preview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31,30],"tags":[186,187],"class_list":["post-201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commentary","category-opinion","tag-anthropic","tag-claude-mythos-preview"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
