Finance ministers across Europe hope to obtain access to Mythos to be prepared for defense.

Finance ministers from various European countries are pressuring Anthropic PBC to grant local businesses access to the Mythos artificial intelligence model in order to prevent these businesses from being exposed to the risk of digital attacks and falling behind their American counterparts. "Europe needs to respond," Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo told reporters in Brussels before the Eurogroup meeting of finance ministers on Monday. He stated that the EU must determine "how we can defend ourselves, ensure that our businesses can access these models, and protect them from potential risks." Finance ministers will discuss the issue on Monday, as concerns grow that the artificial intelligence model could trigger unprecedented digital attacks if it falls into the hands of criminals. Thus far, European companies have not been granted permission to use Mythos, preventing them from assessing the potential impact of this unreleased tool.
