For years, artificial intelligence companies promised tools that would make life easier, improve productivity, and help solve massive global problems. Now, one experimental AI model is making even cybersecurity experts nervous. Anthropic’s new AI system, called “Claude Mythos Preview,” has reportedly demonstrated the ability to uncover software vulnerabilities at a level that many experts say exceeds human capabilities in some situations.
According to reports from major outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Mythos has already identified thousands of serious flaws in operating systems, browsers, and financial infrastructure. While that might sound useful on the surface, many experts fear the same technology that can protect systems could also become one of the most dangerous cybersecurity threats the public has ever seen.
