Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey says UK banks do not yet have access to Anthropic PBC’s “Mythos” AI model. Speaking at a central banking conference in Iceland, Bailey said banks remain locked out of using the new tool and called for a multinational approach to addressing cybersecurity threats. He added that UK banks use other AI models to test and evaluate their cyber defenses while they do not have Mythos available. The comments, reported by Bloomberg, place the access issue within the broader context of improving banks’ readiness for cybersecurity risks and coordinating efforts across countries. Channel NewsAsia similarly reports that Bailey raises concerns about the lack of access for UK banks, indicating the issue is ongoing rather than resolved. Overall, the reporting agrees on Bailey’s assessment that Mythos access for UK banks has not been granted and that banks are relying on alternative models for testing purposes.
