Finance Minister Chairs Meeting on Cybersecurity Risks from Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chaired a high-level meeting with bank leaders and officials from the Reserve Bank of India, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, and other agencies to assess cybersecurity risks posed by Anthropic's advanced AI model, Claude Mythos. The model's ability to autonomously identify and exploit software vulnerabilities has raised global concerns. Banks were urged to strengthen cyber defenses, establish real-time threat intelligence sharing, and report suspicious activities promptly. The government is engaging with Anthropic and coordinating across agencies to balance innovation with security in India's fintech sector.
