British regulatory agencies urgently assess the risks of Anthropic's latest AI model.

According to the Financial Times, the UK financial regulatory authority is holding urgent discussions with the government's cybersecurity agency and major banks to assess the risks posed by Anthropic's latest artificial intelligence model. Two sources familiar with the matter said officials from the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, and the Treasury are in talks with the National Cyber Security Centre to review potential vulnerabilities in key IT systems highlighted by Anthropic's latest AI model. It is reported that representatives from major banks, insurance companies, and exchanges in the UK are expected to receive briefings on the cybersecurity risks posed by the Claude Mythos Preview model at meetings with regulatory authorities over the next two weeks.
