Prudential bank regulators declined to share details about the use of Anthropic’s Mythos model among the country’s largest banks during an oversight hearing before the House Financial Services Committee Thursday morning.
Mythos has drawn widespread concern for its potential to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities among sophisticated actors around the world, including in the finance industry. Some large banks are among the firms that have been given access to the model, though little is known about the full scope of the project.
Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.) pressed the federal bank regulators for specifics about which banks, or how many, had been given access to Mythos. The officials representing the Federal Reserve, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and National Credit Union Administration all said they could not disclose that information.
