Officials are losing patience over lack of access to superhacking model.

For Pierrakakis, who is also Greece’s finance minister, the geopolitical situation is making the task more difficult: “The challenge here is that technologies like AI necessitate international governance frameworks at a moment where multilateralism is challenged,” he said in the same press conference.
But the scare around Mythos comes amid rocky EU-U.S. relations, with clashes over a range of issues from military support to trade flows and online freedom of speech.
U.S. Senator Gary Peters, a Democrat from Michigan and ranking member of the U.S. Senate’s homeland security committee, told POLITICO’s AI & Tech Week event on Tuesday he wants to “explore” why Anthropic’s superhacking model Mythos has not been shared with EU regulators for review.
“I’d love to explore why it’s not being provided to folks here in Europe as well. Because you’ve got to be part of the solution. There’s just no question about it in my mind,” Peters said.
Brussels and Washington plan to set up a new forum to discuss technology regulation, they said at the start of April, but details remain sparse and there is a deep rift between the two sides’ positions on tech rules from data regulation to content moderation.
According to Pierrakakis, Europe doesn’t have “the luxury of not trying to establish channels of communication with the United States, both on this topic [of superhacking AI] and on other topics as well, because frankly, the changes that we will see coming from AI are going to be significant.”
