About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the US government's ban on Anthropic's AI models and its impact on national security and technology competition.

The US government just shut down access to Anthropic's two most powerful AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, days after launch. Steven J. Manning joins Nathaniel Schooler to close the AI in Government series and ask the only question that matters: national security, or the costliest competitive takedown in tech history. Different place. Same question.
