Mythos | Double-edged sword – The Hindu

In cybersecurity, speed is everything. The faster a vulnerability is found and rectified, the safer the data is. For years, human expertise was needed to do this. Now, Artificial Intelligence can identify hidden vulnerabilities and write the code to patch them in hours, compressing a process that once took teams of experts days or weeks. But what happens when the same AI increases the risk? The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned that while AI could strengthen cyber defence, it could also make cyberattacks faster, cheaper, and accessible even to non-experts. The risks are particularly serious for the financial sector, which relies heavily on shared digital infrastructure like software, cloud services, payment networks, and interconnected databases. Also Read: Has Anthropic’s Mythos made the Cure worse than the disease? In a new report, the IMF singled out Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview to show how quickly risks are rising. Mythos is a large language model developed with general-purpose reasoning, coding, and autonomous tasks. This makes it great at identifying security vulnerabilities, but experts and the tech company …

White House considers vetting AI models before they are released | Technology News

President Donald Trump, who promoted a hands-off approach to artificial intelligence and gave Silicon Valley free rein to roll out the technology, is considering the introduction of government oversight over new AI models, according to U.S. officials and people briefed on the deliberations. The administration is discussing an executive order to create an AI working group that would bring together tech executives and government officials to examine potential oversight procedures, according to U.S. officials, who declined to be identified in order to discuss deliberations over sensitive policies. Among the potential plans is a formal government review process for new AI models. In meetings last week, White House officials told executives from Anthropic, Google and OpenAI about some of those plans, people briefed on the conversations said. The working group is likely to consider a number of oversight approaches, officials said. But a review process could be similar to one being developed in Britain, which has assigned several government bodies to ensure that AI models meet certain safety standards, people in the tech industry and the …
