UK financial regulators are holding urgent discussions with the government’s main cyber security watchdog and the country’s biggest banks to assess the risks posed by the latest AI model from Anthropic.
Officials at the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority and HM Treasury are in talks with the National Cyber Security Centre to explore potential vulnerabilities in key IT systems revealed by Anthropic’s latest model.
Leading British banks, insurers and exchanges will be warned about the cyber security risks exposed by Anthropic’s latest model, Claude Mythos Preview, at a meeting with the regulators in the next fortnight, according to two people briefed on the talks.
