Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell met with bank executives to encourage them to use Anthropic's new AI model called Mythos. Mythos is a powerful tool that can detect vulnerabilities, but it was not trained specifically for cybersecurity.
Key banks such as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Morgan Stanley are testing Mythos alongside JPMorgan Chase, which has been working with the model since its release. However, Anthropic is limiting access to the model due to its ability to find security vulnerabilities. This decision may be related to ongoing court battles over the use of AI models by the government.
The U.S. Treasury and Federal Reserve are taking a cautious approach in promoting Mythos, while also highlighting concerns about the potential risks posed by the model. Meanwhile, financial regulators in the UK are discussing similar issues regarding Mythos.
