According to TheWrap, Senator JD Vance convened an ad-hoc conference call last month with major tech leaders after a new Anthropic model autonomously found and exploited cybersecurity vulnerabilities. TheWrap reports that attendees included Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other tech CEOs. TheWrap describes the model, Mythos, as having autonomously discovered and then exploited weaknesses in systems that guard banks, hospitals and critical infrastructure. TheWrap frames the call as an AI safety wake-up, prompted by the apparent ease with which Mythos could generate actionable cyberattacks.
