On Transparent AI Cyber Protections

We, the undersigned executives and technical leaders from across the United States, write to you to ask you to lift the export control directives on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos large language models and commit to an open, scientific and transparent process of handling AI risk assessments in the future. Not all of us agree that AI regulation is the right way forward. But if this Administration’s laudable goal of securing our nation’s critical infrastructure is going to include models being regulated, then the regulations should be:

1. Grounded in scientific evaluations developed with input from industry and academia;
2. Created through a democratic rule-making process;
3. Enforced transparently and fairly with appropriate time given to remediate; and
4. Used only to the minimal extent necessary to ensure the safety of the American public.
