How Dangerous Is Anthropic’s Mythos AI?

The essay argues that advanced generative AI models—like Anthropic's Mythos and comparable systems—are becoming highly effective at finding software vulnerabilities, which presents both defensive benefits (automated finding and patching) and offensive risks (automated exploitation for ransomware, espionage, or control of critical systems). It warns the same capabilities can be applied to non-technical systems (for example, finding tax or regulatory loopholes), creating broad societal and security challenges and requiring organizations and governments to adapt.
