Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon met on Tuesday with representatives of Anthropic — the company that said its latest chatbot, Mythos, is too risky for public release last week.

Anthropic released a system preview card surrounding its newest AI model, Claude Mythos, which the company stated was “substantially beyond those of any model we have previously trained” and therefore would not be released to the public, citing cybersecurity dangers.

“Anthropic and the Canadian government are engaged in constructive, ongoing discussions,” Solomon said in an emailed statement from his office to Global News.

“I met with Anthropic this morning as part of our continued engagement with leading AI companies on safety, security, and Canada’s sovereign interests. The Government of Canada takes the protection of its systems, its critical infrastructure, and Canadians’ data with the utmost seriousness.
