AI company Anthropic has been ordered by the U.S. government to disable its most advanced AI models (Fable 5 and Mythos 5) for foreign users due to national security concerns involving possible “jailbreak” vulnerabilities. Anthropic complied by shutting down access globally for those models, despite disagreeing with the order, as the company argued that the evidence provided is limited and that similar standards could affect AI development across the industry. The decision affects users worldwide and marks one of the first major attempts to directly restrict international access to advanced AI systems rather than the technology used to build them. The debate raises questions about national security, technological innovation, global access to AI, and who should control powerful emerging technologies.
