Anthropic's Mythos AI raises alarms

The Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority are in urgent talks with the National Cyber Security Centre to examine potential threats to critical IT systems.

Anthropic has limited the public release of Mythos due to its significant offensive capabilities, prompting concerns about an AI-driven arms race.

Despite these warnings, some reports suggest the Trump administration may be encouraging banks to test the model for defensive purposes.

The situation highlights the growing tension between rapid AI innovation and the need for robust regulatory oversight.
