Anthropic is offering the European Union’s cybersecurity structures access to its advanced AI model, Mythos, after EU officials raised cybersecurity concerns and sought permissions to review the technology. Bloomberg, CNBC, and other outlets report that Anthropic has moved to provide access to Mythos to ENISA, the EU’s cybersecurity agency, while discussions continue over the terms and safeguards. Bloomberg says Anthropic will grant access to Mythos, which is designed to find and exploit vulnerabilities in computer systems. CNBC and PYMNTS add that ENISA and Anthropic are negotiating conditions for access, with an ENISA spokesperson indicating the offer exists but that implementation details are still being agreed. The Hindu and Politico-related reporting cited by Slashdot describe the initiative as following meetings between EU representatives and Anthropic executives, with the European Commission welcoming the latest developments and emphasizing the need to understand potential risks as more powerful AI models enter the market.
The Next Web reports that communications to the European Commission occur over the weekend, and that ENISA would become the first EU institution to join the access arrangement. ENISA is reported as not currently having active access but working to put safeguards and mechanisms in place.
