Finma Says Immediate Mythos Access Would Pose Systemic Bank Risk

Switzerland’s top financial regulator said giving banks quick and easy access to Anthropic PBC’s artificial intelligence tool Mythos would create a severe risk for the country’s financial system.

“The uncontrolled and immediate availability of AI models such as Mythos would be classified as a systemic risk,” a spokesperson for Finma said in response to questions from Bloomberg News. “In such a scenario, virtually all existing software systems could simultaneously be affected by a multitude of previously unknown zero-day vulnerabilities, which would be exploited immediately and via AI.”
