<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Good morning<\/strong>. I was speaking with a CEO in financial services this week when I noticed and mentioned that Anthropic had just released its first Mythos-class model to the public. His reaction: \u201cOh God, no! Not another thing.\u201d Neither of us knew the details yet, beyond the now disputed claim that Claude Fable 5 is a better way to let users query a model deemed too dangerous for general release. To him, that didn\u2019t matter. \u201cI\u2019m not worried about someone making a weapon,\u201d he told me. \u201cI\u2019m worried about all the other crap we now have to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n That reaction captures something every CEO needs to grapple with as the rules of the road on AI keep changing\u00a0and the companies writing them don\u2019t seem to answer to anyone but themselves. Anthropic\u2019s rollout of Claude Fable 5 is a case study in the new reality of AI adoption, creating new challenges along with new capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n To start, there\u2019s the trade-off of having Fable 5 automatically block responses in areas like cybersecurity and even limit the capabilities of AI researchers and developers. (The unfettered version\u2014Claude Mythos 5\u2014is available only to pre-approved organizations to address cybersecurity issues.) Another problem is that the model holds back covertly: no red flag or transparency about triggers, so users don\u2019t know when they\u2019re being served up subpar content. They just know from the system card that it could happen any time.<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the data problem. Anthropic is a favorite with health care leaders like Banner Health CEO Amy Perry who spoke with me recently about their digital transformation and moves to modernize while protecting 29 petabytes of data. \u201cWe felt the Anthropic model was a safer platform that allows us to apply the kinds of governance that we wanted to apply,\u201d she told me. It was also HIPAA-compliant in offering zero data retention. Claude Fable 5 does not, instead maintaining a 30-day data retention window that has prompted companies like Microsoft to reportedly restrict employees from using it.<\/p>\n And of course, there are the cybersecurity concerns. On that front, I had a wide-ranging conversation yesterday with Bezalel Eithan Raviv, CEO of Tel Aviv-based Lionsgate Intelligence Network. Like a lot of cybersecurity experts I speak with, Raviv takes issue with the lack of guardrails around these products. \u201cAnthropic officially has become the judge and the executioner in a way, they decide the standard for what will be right or wrong, even though it\u2019s a standard that nobody agreed to.\u201d<\/p>\n In his view, these models are more akin to currency or weapons than products and should be treated as such. \u201cYou can\u2019t print U.S. dollars or produce weapons because you feel like it,\u201d he said. \u201cThis area demands a shepherd. We\u2019re seeing a lot of new sheep. Some are like (the cloned) Dolly where it\u2019s hard to understand the origin or implications of what you\u2019re seeing. Cybercriminals are using these weapons to intercept human beings through sophisticated attacks \u2026 Anthropic is a private company, with shareholders who want to maximize profit. They\u2019ve reached the point where even they don\u2019t know how to anticipate what\u2019s next. It\u2019s madness.\u201d<\/p>\n A final, unrelated note: Be sure to check out the inaugural Fortune Crypto 100 that\u2019s out today.
