Electronics maker NEC said Thursday that major Japanese financial institutions, including Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings, will participate in its strategic collaboration with U.S. startup Anthropic in the field of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
The partnership aims to improve the quality of financial services for customers using AI and to strengthen measures against cyberattacks.<\/p>\n
The other companies are Sumitomo Life Insurance, Daiwa Securities Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank and Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.<\/p>\n
Using Anthropic\u2019s AI technology, the partners will work not only on developing new services but also on improving productivity by streamlining business processes at each company.<\/p>\n
Anthropic\u2019s powerful AI model, Claude Mythos, has sparked concern that it may be used to carry out cyberattacks, particularly in the financial sector.<\/p>\n
Under the collaboration announced in April, NEC and Anthropic aim to jointly develop AI services tailored for operations in the financial, manufacturing and local government sectors.<\/p>\n
Japan\u2019s three megabank lenders \u2014\u00a0MUFG Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. and Mizuho Bank \u2014\u00a0are believed to have gained access to Claude Mythos. Those joining the NEC-Anthropic project aim to further enhance their system security.<\/p>\n
