On Thursday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman convened a meeting with heads of banks to address the risks posed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly in light of concerns surrounding Anthropic's Mythos model. This AI model has been reported to identify vulnerabilities in major operating systems, raising alarms about potential threats to data security within the financial sector. During the meeting, attended by senior officials from banks, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, discussions centered on the measures needed to mitigate these risks. Banks were urged to implement preemptive strategies to safeguard their systems and protect customer data. The urgency of this meeting stems from Anthropic's claims that Mythos can outperform humans in cybersecurity tasks, identifying thousands of bugs, including long-standing vulnerabilities. The model, deemed too dangerous for public release, is currently being utilized under a controlled initiative called 'Project Glasswing' for defensive purposes.
