EU holds productive talks with Anthropic on Mythos access

The European Commission has had several productive meetings with ​Anthropic regarding possible future access ‌for EU bodies to Anthropic’s Mythos AI product, it said.

The ​EU was responding after Bloomberg ​News reported earlier that Anthropic was set ⁠to give the EU’s cybersecurity ​agency access to Mythos.

Designed to find ​flaws in computer code to help bolster defences against cyberattacks, Mythos was initially ​seen by some cybersecurity experts ​as enabling attacks on the technology systems it ‌aims ⁠to protect, although such fears now seem overstated.

“I can confirm that the Commission had several productive meetings ​with Anthropic. ​We ⁠welcome the latest developments on potential future access,” said ​Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier.

The EU ​cybersecurity ⁠agency – called ENISA – is the body that is expected to get ⁠access ​to Mythos once ​there is agreement with Anthropic. Reuters
