What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions is planning to implement tighter guidelines on artificial intelligence due to escalating risks from AI agents and Anthropic’s Claude Mythos model. The regulator is working to create a “safety code” aimed at improving cybersecurity and mitigating risks across the financial system. This scrutiny was spurred by Mythos, which Anthropic restricted because it is capable of finding and exploiting software weak spots that could lead to cyberattacks.
