The Guardian view on Anthropic’s Claude Mythos: when AI finds every flaw, who controls the internet? | Editorial

Anthropic created Claude Mythos, an AI model that can autonomously find and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities (previously unknown security flaws that hackers don't yet know about), write code to exploit them, and potentially take over major operating systems and web browsers, but the company chose not to release it publicly due to these risks. To address the threat, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing, partnering with 40 organizations to help them "patch" (fix) vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them, though all current partners are American companies.
