Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks alarm

Anthropic's Mythos AI sparks alarm

The limited release of Mythos has put both Washington and Wall Street on high alert, with the U.S. Treasury Department seeking access to hunt for flaws in financial infrastructure.

Anthropic's decision to restrict the model has drawn praise from European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who called for greater global safeguards on AI technology.

However, some tech pioneers have dismissed the alarm as marketing hype, arguing that skilled human hackers remain more efficient.

The debate underscores the growing tension between rapid AI innovation and the need for national security oversight.
