According to Axios, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has gained access to Anthropic's AI product Mythos, despite the Pentagon warning that the company poses a national security threat. The report states that the NSA is one of about 40 organizations granted access to the technology.

It is reported that the NSA mainly uses Mythos to identify vulnerabilities within its own network. Anthropic's innovations in AI technology have attracted attention, but due to its classification as a supply chain risk, the NSA's use has raised some concerns. While the NSA's actions aim to improve cybersecurity, the public has shown cautious attitudes considering the agency's history in information processing and surveillance.

Despite the Pentagon's concerns about Anthropic's security, the NSA has decided to use the technology. The report points out that Mythos's powerful capabilities can help the NSA better understand and enhance its network defense capabilities. In this context, the NSA's actions seem to be a necessary measure for protecting national security, but they have also sparked widespread discussions on the ethics of technology use.
