Trump summons bank leaders over terrifying new threat to global financial system | Daily Mail Online
"The Trump administration has summoned America's most powerful bank chiefs to an urgent closed-door meeting over an AI model its makers warn could bring down a blue-chip company or breach national defense firewalls."
"Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell convened the session at Treasury headquarters in Washington, DC on Tuesday to address Mythos, a new model from AI giant Anthropic."
"Anthropic had announced Mythos the same day, revealing that the model surprised coders by hacking into the company's own networks during internal testing.""The AI giant released a chilling analysis of Mythos this week as it admitted the new model could easily hack into hospitals, electrical grids, power plants, and other pieces of critical infrastructure.
"During testing, Anthropic says that Mythos 'found thousands of high–severity vulnerabilities, including some in every major operating system and web browser.'
"Some of these security weaknesses had gone unnoticed by human security researchers and hackers for decades, surviving millions of automated reviews."
"These included attacks that allowed Mythos to crash computers just by connecting to them, seize control of machines, and hide its presence from defenders."
