The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has confirmed its complete readiness to tackle cyber security threats posed by the Mythos platform, an AI-driven system developed by Anthropic. During a press conference following the monetary policy announcement, RBI Deputy Governor Swaminathan J stated that advisories have already been distributed to regulated entities to ensure they are informed and prepared.
