Japan will set up a task force to address cybersecurity risks in its financial system following concerns about potential vulnerabilities linked to Anthropic's Mythos AI model, Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama said on Friday.

Two sources told Axios that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency does not have access to Anthropic's powerful new Mythos Preview model, despite its use by other government agencies.

European financial regulators must act to prevent the misuse of advanced artificial intelligence, according to the head of Germany’s central bank.

Anthropic Labs has recently unveiled a new product called Claude Design, designed for its flagship AI model. The tool, as described by Anthropic, enables users to collaborate with Claude to produce polished visual work such as designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more.

On Thursday, Anthropic introduced its new AI model, Claude Opus 4.7, claiming it is an upgrade from previous versions, though it remains "broadly less capable" than the latest Claude Mythos Preview.

German banks and financial authorities are assessing potential risks linked to a new artificial intelligence model developed by Anthropic, amid concerns it could increase exposure to cyber threats.
