The Trump administration and Anthropic’s CEO on Friday discussed working together for the first time since a dispute earlier this year between the Pentagon and the artificial intelligence firm over how that company’s models should be used.

The meeting between CEO Dario Amodei and White House staff, which took place amid growing ‌fears the AI start-up’s latest model will supercharge cyberattacks, suggests the two sides might be on a path to rebuilding trust.

The Trump administration, central bankers across the globe and industries are racing to get up to speed on Anthropic’s new model Mythos and its ability to make complex cyberattacks both easier and quicker to execute.

The banking industry, with its legacy technology systems, is particularly vulnerable. Government officials in at least three countries – the US, Canada and Britain – have met with top banking officials to discuss the threats posed by Mythos.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joined Chief of Staff ⁠Susie Wiles in the meeting with Amodei, Axios reported.

“We discussed opportunities for collaboration, as well as shared approaches and protocols to address the challenges associated with scaling ‌this technology,” the White House said in a statement that described the meeting with Anthropic as “productive and constructive”.
