US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell held a critical meeting with bank CEOs this week to address the cybersecurity threats posed by Anthropic's newly launched AI model, Mythos. This advanced model, which can identify and exploit vulnerabilities across every major operating system and web browser, has raised significant concerns about potential cybersecurity risks. Due to these risks, Anthropic has opted for a limited release of Mythos, allowing access to only about 40 technology companies, including industry giants Microsoft and Google. The meeting, conducted at the Treasury Department in Washington, D.C., was timely, as many bank CEOs were already present for other discussions. This initiative underscores the urgency for banks to bolster their cybersecurity measures in light of evolving threats from AI technologies.
