In June 2024, a cyber-attack disrupted London hospitals, causing appointment cancellations and blood shortages. Anthropic, an AI company, announced a new AI model named “Claude Mythos Preview” that can find serious security flaws in major software, potentially enabling more powerful cyber-attacks. The company is limiting access to this AI to help companies fix vulnerabilities before hackers exploit them.
Key Facts
A cyber-attack in London in June 2024 caused over 10,000 appointment cancellations and a patient’s death due to blood test delays.
Anthropic released an AI model called Claude Mythos Preview, which can detect security weaknesses in major browsers and operating systems.
Mythos found a 27-year-old bug in critical security infrastructure and flaws in the Linux kernel, a key part of many computer systems.
Experts warn this AI could make cyber-attacks faster, more frequent, and more destructive by enabling less skilled hackers.
Anthropic is sharing Mythos only with big companies like Apple, Microsoft, and Google to help them improve security.
There is little government regulation to control the spread of such powerful AI tools at the national or global level.
The Trump administration has banned its government agencies from using Anthropic’s technology and criticized the company.
This lack of cooperation between Anthropic and the government may hinder efforts to protect critical systems.
