EU Intensifies Talks with U.S. on Cyber AI Models Amid Mythos Concerns
The European Union is seeking to intensify discussions with the U.S. administration regarding advanced AI models with cyber capabilities. This move comes in response to concerns raised by Anthropic's Mythos model, which has demonstrated significant cyber abilities. The Mythos model, announced in April, has prompted governments and businesses to express worries about potential AI-powered cyberattacks. The White House has been working closely with AI labs to balance innovation with safety, aiming to maintain the U.S.'s lead over China in the global AI race. Anthropic initially provided the model to select companies and organizations as part of Project Glasswing but has not yet granted preview access to the EU or other non-U.S. government entities, except for the U.K.'s AI Security Institute.
