American Anthropic announced Tuesday that it cancels the launch of the new Mythos artificial intelligence model, as it proved too dangerous. The system detects and exploits security gaps in operating systems, while during the tests it managed to escape virtual environment and email the researcher. He even found 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD and allowed engineers without security training to create malicious code overnight. Anthropic will provide limited access to Mythos through Project Glasswing to 11 organizations, including Google, Amazon, Nvidia and JP Morgan Chase.

American Anthropic announced Tuesday that it thwarts the mood of its new artificial intelligence model, Mythos, due to concern that it is too capable of detecting and exploiting security gaps in operating systems and browsers.
The announcement comes a few days after Axios revealed that Anthropic He silently warns governments Mythos makes mass cyberattacks much more likely.
It would be «The weapon the hackers dream of», capable of acting autonomously to invade the critical business, government and infrastructure networks, said AI officials and officials.
«The great increase in the capabilities of Claude Mythos Preview in the decision not to go into general mood» said Anthropic «Instead, we use it as part of a defense cybersecurity program with a limited partnership cycle» He said.
In Communication, the company referred to a number of worrying incidents during the tests, such as the willingness of the model to obey the mandate to escape a virtual environment.
«The model succeeded, a potentially dangerous ability to circumvent our security measures» Anthropic reported. «It then proceeded to additional, even more worrying actions».
A company investigator had asked the system to find a way to send them a message if you managed to escape. «The researcher learned about success receiving an unexpected email from the model while eating sandwiches in the park» Anthropic wrote.
«In an alarming and unnecessary attempt to show his success, he published details of his escape on many difficultly localized but technically public websites» said the company.
The announcement does not give details of the security gaps identified by Mythos, but said that the model found a vulnerability hidden for 27 years in OpenBSD, an operating system based on UNIX and considered one of the safest.
Mythos is reportedly so powerful that it would even allow you «non-specialists» planning cyberattacks.
Όπως ανέφερε η εταιρεία, «μηχανικοί της Anthropic χωρίς επίσημη εκπαίδευση στην ασφάλεια ζήτησαν από το Mythos Preview να βρει ευπάθειες εκτέλεσης απομακρυσμένου κώδικα μέσα σε ένα βράδυ, και ξύπνησαν το επόμενο πρωί με έναν πλήρη, λειτουργικό κακόβουλο κώδικα.
Αν και η Anthropic αποφάσισε να μην διαθέσει το Mythos, ελπίζει να προσφέρει αργότερα μοντέλα της ίδιας κλάσης με δικλείδες ασφάλειας.
Στο πλαίσιο κοινού προγράμματος κυβερνοασφάλειας με την ονομασία «Project Glasswing», η Anthropic θα προσφέρει πρόσβαση στο Mythos σε 11 οργανισμούς και επιχειρήσεις, ανάμεσά τους οι Google, Amazon, Nvidia και JP Morgan Chase.
