Anthropic is set to brief the Financial Stability Board on global financial system vulnerabilities, identified by its AI model Mythos. Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, requested the briefing due to cyber risks potentially posed by Mythos, which could impact legacy banking technologies.

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup, will soon brief the Financial Stability Board (FSB), highlighting cyber vulnerabilities uncovered by its cutting-edge AI model, Mythos, sources revealed to the Financial Times. Key finance ministries and central banks will be attending.

This briefing, prompted by a request from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, underscores potential threats Mythos could pose to legacy banking systems. Bailey, who chairs the FSB as a global financial rule watchdog for G20 economies, expressed concerns over the escalating cyber risks.

Mythos, described as a cybersecurity model by Anthropic, has not yet been released but has raised alarms. Cybersecurity experts stress it may facilitate advanced cyber threats, adding pressure on the already strained banking infrastructure.
