Anthropic 员工指控特朗普政府针对他们——《纽约时报》
人工智能初创公司 Anthropic 的高管们上周五收到了来自白宫的令人震惊的消息。他们被告知，出于国家安全考虑，必须在不到 90 分钟内下架其最新的人工智能模型。
在公司内部，员工的私人群聊立刻炸开了锅。经理们被指示要为客户做好准备，应对名为 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 的模型可能出现的服务中断。但传达的信息不断变化，员工们最初被告知安全问题是外国公司能够访问这些系统，后来又说模型中发现了一个重大漏洞。
在员工聊天中，Anthropic 的工程师们互相询问，公司今年上市的计划是否会因白宫的指令而受阻。许多人分享了新闻报道，这些报道对于白宫为何命令 Anthropic 暂停所有外国公民访问 Fable 5 和 Mythos 5 提供了相互矛盾的信息。
“你们怎么跟客户说的？”一名员工在《纽约时报》看到的一个聊天中问道。另一名员工说：“有人知道该相信什么吗？”在另一条消息中，一名员工表示：“我不明白问题出在哪里。”
六天过去了，Anthropic 大约 3000 名员工仍然没有得到多少答案。这家旧金山公司仍在应对内部的混乱，首席执行官达里奥·阿莫迪及其部分副手正与特朗普政府会面，试图解决这一局面。但在周一和周二的讨论之后，在结束美国限制公司新 AI 模型访问权限的命令方面，并未取得突破。
在周一的一份声明中，Anthropic 表示将继续与政府官员会面，并承诺“持续致力于与政府合作”。
Anthropic Employees Accuse Trump Administration of Targeting Them - The New York Times
Executives at the artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic received alarming news from the White House on Friday. They had less than 90 minutes, they were told, to take down their newest A.I. models over national security concerns.
Inside the company, employees’ private group chats immediately lit up. Managers were instructed to prepare customers for a potential service disruption to the models, called Fable 5 and Mythos 5. But the messaging kept changing, with workers initially being told that the security problem was the ability of foreign companies to gain access to the systems, and later that a major vulnerability had been discovered in the models.
In employee chats, Anthropic engineers asked one another if the company’s plan to go public this year would be harmed by the White House directive. Many shared news reports that offered conflicting information about why the White House had ordered Anthropic to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all foreign nationals.
“What are you telling your clients?” one employee asked in a chat viewed by The New York Times. Another said, “Does anyone know what to believe?” In another message, a worker said, “I don’t understand what the issue is.”
Six days later, Anthropic’s roughly 3,000 employees still have few answers. The San Francisco company is continuing to grapple with internal confusion as Dario Amodei, the chief executive, and some of his lieutenants meet with the Trump administration to try and resolve the situation. But after discussions on Monday and Tuesday, there was no breakthrough over ending the U.S. order to limit access to the company’s new A.I. models.
In a statement on Monday, Anthropic said it would continue meeting with government officials and pledged its “ongoing commitment to working alongside the administration.”
