Anthropic to share Mythos cyber flaw findings with global finance watchdog

Anthropic is to brief the global finance watchdog on the implications of its Claude Mythos AI model, whose potential threat to cyber defences has alarmed experts. The US startup will discuss Mythos with the Financial Stability Board (FSB), which is chaired by the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey. Anthropic has declined to release Mythos publicly after announcing the AI model had advanced capabilities in highlighting previously unknown flaws in IT systems that could be used by hackers. Instead, the company has given access to Mythos to a group of tech companies and banks, including Apple and JP Morgan, to help them identify any weaknesses that the AI model might locate. An FSB spokesperson confirmed the plan, saying the body "welcomes engagement with Anthropic and other firms on emerging and frontier risks to global stability".
