Banks in close contact with European regulator on Anthropic's Mythos, banker says

FRANKFURT, April ⁠20 (Reuters) - Banks are in close ⁠contact with their European regulators regarding Anthropic's new artificial intelligence model Mythos, Christian Sewing, president of the German banking association and CEO of ⁠Deutsche Bank, said ⁠on Monday.

He said that the banking ⁠association would further discuss the topic later on Monday ⁠after talks last week.

"It's certainly not something that's causing panic or setting off ⁠any alarm bells on our end right now, but it's definitely something ⁠we need to keep in mind in our day-to-day risk management -- and that's exactly what we're ⁠doing," he told journalists.

The vast capabilities of Mythos to code at a high level have given it a potentially ⁠unprecedented ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities, experts say, prompting greater scrutiny from some regulators globally.
