What happened
Brian Moynihan, CEO of Bank of America, told CNBC that the bank hired external contractors to patch software vulnerabilities exposed by advanced artificial intelligence models, including Anthropic's Mythos. Bank of America spent a "couple hundred million plus" on software remediation and regulatory issues related to anti-money laundering compliance during the third quarter. The bank utilized 1,000 contractors in the second quarter, supplementing 3,000 internal staff in that area.
