The Guardian view on Anthropic's Claude Mythos: when AI finds every flaw, who controls the internet? | Editorial
"Mythos autonomously wrote code and obtained privileges, turning computers into crime scenes and significantly increasing the risk of cyber-attacks."
"The implications are significant; it's like a burglar being able to target any building, get inside, unlock every door and empty every safe."
"AI discovers cyber vulnerabilities quickly, cheaply, and at scale, making hacking accessible to many, not just experts."
"British ministers warned that AI is about to make cyber-attacks much easier and faster, and most businesses are not ready."
Anthropic's Claude Mythos is an AI model that autonomously identifies and exploits zero-day vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. The model has been shared with select partners under Project Glasswing to help patch these vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by hackers. British ministers have warned that AI will make cyber-attacks easier and faster, with many businesses unprepared. Mozilla's testing revealed that Mythos could find ten times more flaws than human testers, highlighting the rapid and scalable nature of AI in discovering cyber vulnerabilities.
