BRUSSELS, May ⁠4 (Reuters) - The European Commission ⁠is in contact with ‌Anthropic regarding Mythos and is assessing its possible implications, European Economic ​Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis ⁠told reporters on ⁠Monday.

"The commission representatives met with ⁠Anthropic ‌and was briefed on technical details ⁠around cyber capabilities and the ​risk ‌of this Mythos preview, so ⁠we ​are currently assessing possible implications in light of the ⁠EU policies and legislation," ​Dombrovskis said.

Cybersecurity experts believe Mythos, a model designed to ⁠find flaws in computer code, may turbo-charge attacks on banks' technology systems but ​has so far ⁠not been made available ​to any European ‌banks.
