Canada, EU and Japan Seek Access to Anthropic's April Mythos Model as Financial Attack Fears Rise

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 15

Summary

  • Canada, the European Union, Japan and other governments are seeking access to Anthropic PBC’s Mythos model after its April release raised fears of attacks on financial systems.
  • Mythos sent shockwaves through policymakers, who want to study or deploy the model to understand and blunt potential AI-enabled threats to critical market infrastructure.
  • Mark Carney had already warned in a January Davos speech that middle powers risk being forced to choose between US and Chinese AI hegemons and hyperscalers.
  • The push for access underscores a broader race by middle powers to avoid dependence on the US and China as advanced AI becomes a national-security and financial-stability issue.
