Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says he will be meeting with senior leadership from Anthropic on Tuesday in response to global concerns about the company’s new AI model.
Solomon says he’s working in close collaboration with Canadian cybersecurity officials.
He says his top goal is to protect Canadian data and institutions.
Anthropic says while it will not release its Mythos AI model to the public, it already has identified thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities in every major operating system and browser.
Reuters reported that the U.S. treasury secretary called a meeting with major Wall Street banks about the cyber risk posed by Mythos, while the Financial Times reported British financial regulators are holding urgent talks.
Mythos was discussed at a meeting of the Bank of Canada’s financial sector resiliency group on Friday, a spokesperson for the central bank said.
