In the USA, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell have called an urgent meeting with leading Wall Street figures. This was reportedly due to concerns that Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, could usher in an era of increased cyber risks. The meeting was called recently, according to reports.
Anthropic's AI model Mythos is a more powerful system that can identify and exploit vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. This has reportedly led regulators and assessors to fear that hackers could use the model. The financial sector is seen as particularly vulnerable.
Anthropic has not yet released the model to the market, reportedly because it is so powerful that the company does not dare to do so yet.
