ECB to Question Banks on Risks from Anthropic's New AI Model
The European Central Bank (ECB) is preparing to question bankers about the potential risks posed by Anthropic's new artificial intelligence model, Mythos. This model is believed to have significant capabilities in identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities, raising concerns among regulators in Europe and the U.S. The ECB's inquiry will be part of its regular dialogue with banks, focusing on their preparedness for potential cyber threats. The model's ability to code at a high level has led to fears that it could be used to supercharge cyberattacks, prompting Anthropic to limit its availability and invite select organizations to evaluate it.
