On April 7, 2026, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Powell urgently convened a meeting with Wall Street executives to discuss the security risks associated with Anthropic's new AI model, Mythos. Attendees included the CEOs of Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Goldman Sachs. Although Mythos is a general-purpose model, it can easily identify vulnerabilities in operating systems and web browsers, posing a risk of being exploited by hackers to launch cyberattacks. In response, Anthropic launched 'Project Glasswing,' providing model access to companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft to detect and fix product vulnerabilities. The meeting highlighted U.S. regulators' concerns about potential cyberattacks triggered by AI models.
