The U.S. government just gave the cybersecurity industry a preview of what AI export controls can look like when policy moves faster than implementation.It is not pretty.On June 12, the government ordered Anthropic to suspend access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models for any foreign national, whether that person was...
