Threat from Anthropic’s Mythos ‘as big as war’: Nirmala Sitharaman

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has flagged concerns over an emerging cyber challenge linked to Anthropic’s AI model Mythos, and described it as a threat as big as war.

Speaking at the ET Awards for Corporate Excellence on Saturday, Sitharaman said the scale and nature of the development had caught authorities off guard.

“No one would have imagined a couple of weeks ago that there is a new threat which is as big as a threat of war, that is going to hit us in terms of the entire digital network,” she said.
