Mythos a serious threat but more will follow, Barclays CEO says

Anthropic’s frontier AI model Mythos is a serious threat to the global banking system, and it is likely to be followed by similar, even more powerful cyberthreats, Barclays chief executive C S Venkatakrishnan said on ‌Friday.

The ⁠vast capabilities ⁠of Mythos to code at a high level have given it a potentially unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities and devise ways to exploit them, raising fears it could be exploited to destabilise banks.
