BRUSSELS, May 4 (Reuters) – The European Commission is in contact ​with Anthropic regarding ‌Mythos and is assessing its possible implications, European Economic Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis ‌told ​reporters on ⁠Monday.

“The commission representatives ⁠met with Anthropic and was briefed on technical details around cyber ​capabilities and the risk of this ⁠Mythos preview, ⁠so we are ​currently assessing possible implications ​in light of the ‌EU policies and legislation,” Dombrovskis said.

Cybersecurity experts believe Mythos, a ⁠model designed to find flaws in computer code, may ⁠turbo-charge ‌attacks on banks’ ⁠technology systems but ​has ‌so far not ​been ⁠made available to any European banks.
