U.S. Lifts Ban on Anthropic's Fable 5 AI Model
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced the lifting of the ban on Anthropic’s Fable 5 AI model, effective Wednesday.
This decision follows weeks of negotiations after the model was disabled on June 12 due to potential cybersecurity risks. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick communicated the decision to Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown, noting the company's cooperation in addressing the risks associated with its AI models.
Anthropic had previously launched Fable 5 and its sibling Mythos 5 on June 9, but concerns arose regarding the ability of users to bypass Fable 5’s guardrails designed to prevent misuse. In response to these concerns, Anthropic sent a team of scientists to Washington, D.C., to negotiate a solution.
The new agreement includes continued collaboration on protocols and standards for future models and a commitment to inform the U.S. government of any malicious activity. Experts from the Commerce Department’s Center for AI Standards and Innovation supported the new cybersecurity measures implemented by Anthropic.
