EU seeks to 'intensify' talks with U.S. on advanced cyber AI models, official tells CNBC, amid Mythos concerns
Summary
The European Union wants to increase discussions with the U.S. about advanced AI models that have cyber capabilities, particularly after Anthropic's Mythos model (a very powerful AI system) raised concerns about AI-powered cyberattacks. The EU has not yet received access to preview Mythos, and the White House has opposed expanding access to the model beyond the U.S. due to security concerns, though Anthropic says it is developing safeguards and expects to release Mythos-class models to customers within weeks.
Solution / Mitigation
Anthropic stated that 'Models of Mythos' capability require strong cyber safeguards before they can be generally released' and 'We're making swift progress on developing these safeguards and expect to be able to bring Mythos-class models to all our customers in the coming weeks.' No specific technical safeguards or implementation details are described in the source text.
