Jack Clark, co-founder and Head of Public Benefit at Anthropic, confirmed that the company briefed the Trump administration on its newly unveiled Mythos model. Announced last week, Mythos is currently not being released to the public due to concerns over its powerful cybersecurity capabilities, which Clark describes as potentially dangerous. During an interview at the Semafor World Economy summit, Clark explained that Anthropic maintains engagement with the U.S. government despite ongoing legal tensions. Earlier this year, Anthropic filed a lawsuit against the Department of Defense after the agency classified the firm as a supply-chain risk. This dispute arose from conflicts over whether the military should have unrestricted access to Anthropic's AI systems for uses including mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. While OpenAI ultimately secured the defense contract, Clark characterized the labeling as a narrow contracting issue, emphasizing that the company remains committed to national security. Clark stated that the government must be informed about advanced models like Mythos to foster new partnerships between the state and the private sector. He noted that such discussions will continue with future model releases. This confirmation follows recent reports indicating that Trump administration officials encouraged major banks, including JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, to test the Mythos system. Beyond government relations, Clark discussed the broader societal impact of artificial intelligence, specifically regarding employment and higher education. While Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has previously warned that AI could drive unemployment to levels reminiscent of the Great Depression, Clark offered a slightly different perspective. He explained that Amodei's grim estimates are based on the assumption that AI capabilities will surge more rapidly than expected. Clark, who leads a team of economists at the firm, reported that they are currently only observing potential weaknesses in early graduate employment within specific industries. The company remains prepared to address any major employment shifts should they occur. When asked which college majors students should pursue or avoid in light of AI advancements, Clark advised that the most critical fields are those involving synthesis across various subjects and strong analytical thinking. He argued that while AI provides access to an arbitrary amount of subject matter expertise, the human value lies in knowing how to ask the right questions and possessing the intuition to connect insights from multiple disciplines. Clark emphasized that the ability to synthesize diverse information remains a uniquely human strength that AI cannot yet replicate.
