Cybersecurity Execs Urge the Trump Administration to Ease Restrictions on Anthropic AI Models
In the Sunday letter, more than 100 cybersecurity experts and company leaders asked the government to lift the export control directives.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2026 (AP) — A group of cybersecurity executives and experts is asking the Trump administration to lift its directive preventing the use of Anthropic's latest artificial intelligence models by foreign nationals, saying the move could help U.S. adversaries more than it hurts them.
Anthropic said Friday it has taken its latest artificial intelligence models, known as Fable 5 and Mythos 5, offline to comply with the directive. The AI giant said it did not believe the steps taken by the government were warranted by the concern it flagged about a potential security issue.
