US Treasury Summons Bank Leaders Over AI Cybersecurity Risks
The US Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, convened a meeting with major American bank executives to discuss cybersecurity risks associated with Anthropic's latest AI model, Claude Mythos. The meeting, attended by leaders from Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup, and others, was prompted by concerns that the AI model could be exploited by hackers to breach software and applications. Anthropic has restricted the release of the model to select businesses due to its potential to uncover vulnerabilities. The meeting highlights the growing concern over AI's role in cybersecurity threats.
