The US suspension of Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models signals a new phase in AI governance. As governments begin to restrict access to advanced models, leaders must confront an emerging reality...
he story behind the directive that forced Anthropic to shut down access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
The Opening Note
Mens Veritas begins with a simple conviction: in a time when artificial intelligence is moving faster than our ability to fully understand its consequences, we need more than information. We need clarity, discernment and meaningful dialogue. This initiative was created to bring together people, ideas and organisations around AI in a way that is thoughtful, human and relevant to the decisions being made today.
Our ambition is to create a trusted place where insight can be shaped, questioned and shared — and where a community of leaders, professionals, innovators and institutions can exchange perspectives with purpose. Through editorial content, curated discussions, events, training and trusted connections, we want to explore how AI is changing business, governance, innovation and society, and what that means for the choices ahead.
Mens Veritas is crafted with technology, but shaped by human minds.
This launch is only the beginning. I hope this community becomes a space where intelligence meets perspective, and where the future of AI is discussed with the seriousness, curiosity and responsibility it deserves.

Artificial intelligence is often discussed in terms of efficiency, speed and productivity. Yet its deeper impact may lie elsewhere: in the way organisations think, evaluate information and make decisions. As AI takes on more analytical work, leaders face a new responsibility — ensuring that cognitive support does not quietly become cognitive dependence.
A polished answer, a convincing summary or a well-structured recommendation can create the impression that the thinking has been done. But leadership begins precisely where the output ends: in the willingness to question, interpret and decide what deserves to be trusted.
There is a paradox at the heart of the AI era: the more digital systems scale, the more trust becomes personal. Leaders need more than access to tools. They need credible professionals, informed perspectives and spaces where unfinished questions can be asked openly. In moments of uncertainty, trusted relationships reduce noise and turn technological possibility into meaningful action.
That is where Mens Veritas begins.

Why is the Pope entering the global debate on artificial intelligence? His new encyclical raises questions that reach far beyond religion: who defines progress, who holds responsibility, and what must never be sacrificed in the pursuit of efficiency? For leaders navigating the age of AI, this is not only a moral reflection.
It is a governance challenge.
