He warned that failure to act could lead to significant cyber threats, particularly in sectors like finance, healthcare, and education.

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warned of a narrow window for addressing software vulnerabilities found by the AI model Mythos.
Mythos has identified nearly 300 vulnerabilities, increasing the total count across software to tens of thousands.
Amodei noted that AI models from adversaries may be six to twelve months behind, providing a limited timeframe to fix these issues.
Most vulnerabilities remain unpatched and undisclosed, posing risks of exploitation by malicious actors.
Both Amodei and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed cautious optimism about the potential for improvement if the cybersecurity challenges are addressed effectively.
Amodei suggested that AI regulation should balance consumer safety with industry competitiveness, similar to automotive industry standards.
Anthropic announced the expansion of its financial services platform, introducing 10 new AI agents and integration with Microsoft Office programs, while its model Claude Opus 4.7 leads in financial analysis benchmarks.
