Australia's big banks, super funds in high level talks over Anthropic's Mythos risks

The AI market leader last week granted 40 US companies early access to Mythos to give them a headstart in securing their systems before the model is released more widely.

The company behind Claude has openly warned that Mythos has the power to circumvent existing cybersecurity defences and if used by bad actors it could put financial stability at risk.

While early access to Mythos has not been granted in Australia, two of the country's top financial regulators have been extensively engaging with the big banks and other market participants behind closed doors as they look to shore up their defences.
