OpenAI on Thursday unveiled a new model called GPT-5.5-Cyber with similar capabilities. Cybersecurity firms are working to adapt their services to deal with supercharged hacking coming from AI. <\/p>\n<p>But while leading AI and tech firms race to develop these new cybersecurity tools,  the European Union risks falling behind. China, in particular, could trigger further anxiety: Chinese state-sponsored hacking groups are among Europe&#8217;s most active, most sophisticated cyber threats, officials have warned repeatedly in past years.<\/p>\n<p>EU and national authorities still haven&#8217;t tested Anthropic&#8217;s Mythos model, Plattner told lawmakers, forcing her agency to rely on counterparts in the United Kingdom and United States that have gained access.<\/p>\n<p>The lack of access has frustrated officials in past weeks and risks weakening Europe&#8217;s protections against an expected wave of AI-enhanced cyberattacks \u2014 while the U.S. and China race to develop superior AI technologies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEurope is not at the table,\u201d said Bart Groothuis, a Dutch liberal lawmaker and one of the letter\u2019s signatories.
