Bezent urgently convened bank CEOs to discuss risks related to the new type of AI, Anthropic.

According to reports, US Treasury Secretary Scott Benett and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell convened a meeting of Wall Street executives, expressing concerns about the latest large model launched by the artificial intelligence company Anthropic PBC that could exacerbate network risks. According to anonymous sources, the meeting was held on Tuesday at the Treasury Department building in Washington, with the purpose of ensuring that banks are fully aware of the risks that could be posed by Anthropic's Mythos model and similar potential models in the future, and taking precautionary measures to protect their own systems security. A spokesperson for the US Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment. A spokesperson for the Federal Reserve declined to comment. The previously unreported emergency meeting once again demonstrates that regulatory agencies consider the possibility of new types of cyber attacks as one of the biggest risks facing the financial industry. All invited banks to the meeting are classified as systemically important financial institutions by top regulatory authorities, meaning that their stable operation is crucial for the core security of the global financial system. Mythos, created by Anthropic, is a more powerful system, with the AI company stating that, upon user command, this system can identify and exploit security vulnerabilities present in major operating systems and web browsers.
