The Indian government is raising alarms over potential cybersecurity threats to its telecom infrastructure due to the emergence of powerful AI models such as Anthropic's Claude Mythos. Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia recently held an emergency meeting with telecom companies and academia to assess the industry's preparedness against intelligent cyber threats that can autonomously exploit vulnerabilities in telecom networks. Experts, including Vinish Bawa from PwC, warn that these AI models could escalate traditional cyberattacks into more sophisticated autonomous threats. The telecom sector is heavily reliant on European vendors like Nokia and Ericsson, which currently lack access to the Mythos model, complicating their ability to counter these threats effectively. The industry is urging the government for access to such AI tools to formulate a robust defense strategy. As discussions continue with Anthropic regarding securing critical infrastructure, the focus remains on enhancing cyber resilience and fostering partnerships with indigenous AI capabilities to safeguard against emerging threats.
