EU Pressures Anthropic Over Mythos Hacking Risks Amid Regulatory Concerns

EU Pressures Anthropic Over Mythos Hacking Risks Amid Regulatory Concerns

The European Union is increasing pressure on Anthropic, a U.S.-based AI company, over its new AI model, Mythos, which is capable of finding and exploiting software glitches. The EU is concerned about the potential hacking risks associated with Mythos and is seeking access to the technology to better understand and mitigate these risks. Despite Anthropic's decision to limit access to Mythos to prevent misuse, European regulators are frustrated by the lack of access and are calling for a 'European mitigation plan' to protect critical infrastructure. The European Commission has indicated that it will seek model access once its AI Office's enforcement powers begin in August 2026.

China Orders Unwinding of Meta's Acquisition of Manus, Impacting Cross-Border AI Transactions

China Orders Unwinding of Meta's Acquisition of Manus, Impacting Cross-Border AI Transactions

China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has mandated the unwinding of Meta's $2 billion acquisition of AI startup Manus, citing national security concerns. The acquisition, completed in December 2025, is now being reversed as part of China's strategic measures to control AI technology. This decision is part of a broader regulatory pattern where both China and the United States are using national security as a basis to influence AI development and control. The NDRC's intervention is the first of its kind under China's Foreign Investment Security Review Measures, highlighting China's intent to maintain oversight over AI technologies developed within its borders, even if companies relocate abroad.

President Trump Considers AI Oversight, Signaling Shift in Tech Policy

President Donald Trump's administration is contemplating the implementation of government oversight for the development and deployment of new artificial intelligence (AI) models. This potential policy shift was reported by the New York Times, which highlighted discussions about an executive order to establish a working group comprising tech executives and public officials. The aim of this group would be to determine the framework for AI oversight. This move represents a significant departure from President Trump's previous stance, which favored deregulation to foster innovation and maintain competitiveness against China. The administration's reconsideration of AI regulation comes amid growing concerns from national security officials and tech analysts about the risks associated with advanced AI systems, such as Anthropic's Mythos.

White House Considers Federal Oversight for AI Models, Impacting Tech Industry

White House Considers Federal Oversight for AI Models, Impacting Tech Industry

The White House is contemplating the establishment of a federal oversight mechanism for new artificial intelligence (AI) models before they are released to the public. This initiative involves forming a working group that includes tech executives and government officials. The group will be responsible for outlining potential oversight procedures, including formal review processes for AI models. Discussions have already taken place with representatives from tech companies such as Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. The proposed oversight could involve agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. This move marks a shift in the Trump administration's approach to AI regulation, which previously favored a lighter regulatory touch.

UK Cyber Security Agency Warns of AI-Driven 'Patch Wave' Impacting Organizations

UK Cyber Security Agency Warns of AI-Driven 'Patch Wave' Impacting Organizations

The United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a warning to organizations about the impending 'patch wave' driven by artificial intelligence (AI). According to NCSC's Chief Technology Officer, Ollie Whitehouse, organizations need to address their technical debt to prevent skilled individuals from exploiting vulnerabilities at scale using AI. The 'patch wave' refers to a surge in software updates required to fix newly disclosed vulnerabilities. The NCSC advises organizations to prioritize patching technologies on their perimeters and then move inward to cloud and on-premises environments. Automatic and hot patching, which does not require service interruptions, are recommended. This warning follows similar advice from the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), which highlighted the security implications of advanced AI models like Anthropic's Claude Mythos and OpenAI's GPT-5.5.
