Why Anthropic’s Mythos is sparking global alarm
Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos, has sparked global alarm due to its powerful ability to find software vulnerabilities, potentially leading to devastating cyberattacks if it falls into the wrong hands. The company is limiting access to a select group of organizations for testing purposes.
Anthropic PBC has developed a new AI tool, Mythos, which is too powerful to release to the general public due to its ability to find vulnerabilities in software and computer systems. The model has already identified thousands of 'zero-day' vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. A small group of unauthorized users gained access to Mythos in a private online forum on the same day Anthropic announced its plan to release the model to a handful of companies for testing. Anthropic is limiting access to Mythos through Project Glasswing, a plan to grant access to a limited group of vetted partners, including Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft. These organizations will use Mythos for defensive purposes to prevent digital breaches. The advent of Mythos points to a faster-moving, less predictable phase of the cyber arms race.
