News reporting focused on AI and machine learning, covering the companies behind these technologies, their real-world applications, and the ethical concerns they raise. This includes areas like generative AI (large language models, text-to-image and video), speech tech, and predictive analytics.
Valentina Palmiotti, known as Chompie, won top prizes at the Pwn2Own hacking competition in Berlin but says AI models like Anthropic's Claude Mythos are so powerful that even champion ethical hackers will soon struggle to compete. She predicts the window for human bug bounty hunters is closing, though some peers remain optimistic about human creativity.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview has become the first AI model to succeed in all cyberattack simulations from the UK's AI Safety Institute. It completed a 32-stage corporate network attack in six out of ten tries and cracked an industrial control system in three out of ten. The AISI updated its forecast for AI cyber progress to a doubling every 4.7 months, which models like Mythos and GPT-5.5 have already beaten.
A group of unauthorized users accessed Anthropic's powerful Claude Mythos AI model using a contractor's credentials and leaked data. The model, limited to partners like Apple, Amazon, and Cisco under Project Glasswing, was used only for benign tasks. Anthropic is investigating with no signs of broader compromise.
A private Discord group has gained unauthorized access to Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, a powerful AI model designed for cybersecurity tasks. The access occurred on April 7, coinciding with the model's limited release announcement, and has continued for two weeks. Anthropic is investigating the incident, which involved a third-party contractor and data from a prior breach.
The White House described a recent meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei as productive amid concerns over the firm's Claude Mythos AI model. The discussion involved Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, focusing on collaboration and safety protocols. This occurs against a backdrop of legal battles and past criticisms from the Trump administration labeling Anthropic a security risk.
The White House held a productive meeting with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei amid an ongoing lawsuit against the US Defense Department. The discussions focused on collaboration opportunities and safety protocols for the firm's new Claude Mythos AI tool, which excels at hacking and cybersecurity tasks. This comes despite past criticisms from the Trump administration labeling the company as a security risk.
Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei reportedly met White House officials amid tensions with the Trump administration. The company's new Claude Mythos Preview cybersecurity model has drawn interest from government agencies testing its capabilities. This comes after a dispute over AI use in surveillance and weapons, with major firms like Apple and Nvidia already using the tool.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI model outperforms humans in hacking and cybersecurity tasks, prompting concerns from regulators and finance leaders. The company limited access through Project Glasswing to select tech firms to bolster defenses. Experts debate if the capabilities justify alarm or represent industry hype.
