Former President Donald Trump has stated he no longer believes artificial intelligence firm Anthropic poses a national security risk. This marks a shift from a previous, undisclosed assessment. Trump revealed this change in position during an interview with Axios, citing Anthropic’s swift and responsible response to unspecified concerns. He did not elaborate on the initial threat assessment or the specific actions taken by Anthropic that led to the reversal. The announcement comes as the Biden administration continues to grapple with regulating the rapidly evolving AI landscape. This development highlights the fluid nature of security evaluations regarding emerging technologies and the potential for dialogue to mitigate perceived risks. The White House has not yet commented on Trump’s statement.
