U.S. Regulators Halt Cybersecurity Exams Over AI Model Concerns
U.S. regulators, including the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, have paused certain cybersecurity examinations of major banks. This decision allows banks to address vulnerabilities exposed by Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos. The model has raised concerns due to its potential use in cyber attacks. Anthropic has limited access to Mythos, allowing select companies like Apple and JPMorgan Chase to test their defenses. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and former Fed Chair Jerome Powell have engaged Wall Street leaders to address these risks. Banks are collaborating with federal agencies to enhance their cybersecurity measures.
