Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with major U.S. bank CEOs this week to discuss the possible cyber risks raised by Anthropic’s Mythos model, CNBC confirmed Friday.
The bank heads were already in Washington, D.C., for another meeting, but a special gathering was called to discuss Mythos, according to a person familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named in order to share information about a confidential matter.
Earlier this week, Anthropic rolled out the new artificial intelligence model in a limited capacity over concerns that hackers could exploit its capabilities.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
