EU-Anthropic Talks Stall Over Mythos AI Security Tests for Banks, Spain Says
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 25
Little progress has been made in EU talks with Anthropic on getting banks and companies tested for digital vulnerabilities identified by the new Mythos AI model, Spain's economy minister Carlos Cuerpo said.
Cuerpo said the bloc would raise the issue again at Friday's meeting of EU finance chiefs in Nicosia, signaling the cybersecurity dispute remains unresolved despite ongoing discussions.
He called the testing question one of the most important issues for the EU in both the short and medium term, underscoring concern that Mythos could expose weaknesses across critical corporate and financial systems.

Locked Out of Mythos: How Anthropic’s AI Model Is Widening Europe’s Cybersecurity and Sovereignty Gap
Overview
The European Union is struggling to secure access to Anthropic's Mythos AI, a powerful model with advanced cybersecurity capabilities. Mythos can identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, surpassing human experts and uncovering critical flaws in major systems. Despite the urgent need, the EU has made little progress, while Anthropic maintains strict control over access. This situation raises serious concerns about Europe's digital security and strategic autonomy, as the lack of access leaves critical infrastructure exposed to sophisticated cyber threats. The report highlights how this technological gap is widening the transatlantic security divide and fueling calls for greater European AI sovereignty.
