Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 10th, according to foreign media reports, U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen and Federal Reserve Chair Powell urgently convened a meeting with Wall Street leaders to discuss the potential for Anthropic’s latest AI model to exacerbate cyber risks. Sources revealed that Yellen and Powell held the meeting Tuesday at the Treasury Department headquarters in Washington, aiming to ensure that banks are aware of the potential risks posed by Anthropic’s “Mythos” model and similar models, and to take preventive measures to protect their systems.

This emergency meeting once again indicates that regulators now view the possibility of new cyberattacks as one of the greatest risks facing the financial industry. All banks summoned to attend the meeting have been designated as systemically important banks by the highest regulatory authority, meaning their stability is crucial to the global financial system. Anthropic’s Mythos is a more powerful system. The company states that, under user instructions, the model can identify and exploit vulnerabilities in almost all mainstream operating systems and web browsers. (Jin10)
