Japan's financial services sector is taking proactive measures to address potential cyber threats posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model. A task force has been established, comprising key figures such as Japan's finance minister, central bank governor, and executives from major banks, to tackle the vulnerabilities identified by Mythos. The AI model has demonstrated the ability to uncover previously unknown vulnerabilities in browsers and operating systems, raising concerns about the security of financial systems.
