Anthropic ‘Mythos’ Model Signals New Era of AI Cybersecurity Risks

The cybersecurity field is buzzing about an upcoming Anthropic AI model that could be used by hackers to “exploit [security] vulnerabilities in ways that far outpace the efforts of defenders,” according to a draft blog post the company mistakenly made public. Anthropic has been briefing cybersecurity researchers and is giving them early access to the model, which is said to be better than past models at generating and reviewing computer code. The AI firm is seeking feedback to make the model less dangerous in the hands of hackers.
