Last week, Anthropic announced its new AI model, Claude Mythos. This model is important because it can write code that hacks into critical systems, including those used by financial companies. It also finds weaknesses in these systems, helping it to bypass advanced security measures.
Anthropic has released Mythos to around 40 major companies. This decision is part of a project called Project Glasswing, which aims to help these companies understand the model’s abilities and develop ways to counter any risks. The introduction of Mythos and the potential for similar powerful AIs have raised concerns among government officials and business leaders in the United States.
Jared Kaplan, co-founder and chief science officer at Anthropic, is a key figure behind this development. He explained that while computers have become faster over the years, AI is evolving even quicker, improving by about ten times as fast as traditional computing. Kaplan believes that Mythos is not just a new model but a result of the ongoing trend of AI becoming more capable in various areas like reasoning and software engineering.
He added that Mythos has shown high-level skills in cybersecurity. This is not just because it was specifically trained for this, but because its general intelligence naturally helps it find and exploit software vulnerabilities.
