US agency reportedly uses Anthropic Mythos AI despite risk designation The Mainstream

Amid growing scrutiny around AI usage in government systems, a report has indicated that a US security agency is using an advanced AI model despite formal risk concerns.

According to the report, the United States National Security Agency (NSA) is currently using Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI tool. This comes even after the Pentagon reportedly assigned the company a supply-chain risk designation.

The report further suggests that the Mythos Preview model is being used more widely within the department, citing sources familiar with the matter. However, the claims have not been independently verified.

Anthropic, the NSA, and the Department of Defense have not responded to requests for comment outside regular business hours. The NSA operates under the Department of Defense.

The development highlights ongoing tensions between rapid AI adoption and security oversight within government systems, especially as advanced AI tools continue to be integrated into sensitive operations.
