The most advanced artificial intelligence models are improving quickly enough to outsmart prevailing cybersecurity know-how within months, the Five Eyes spy agency alliance has warned.
Key facts
- Anthropic this month suspended access to Mythos 5 and a restricted version called Fable 5 to comply with a U.S. national security order
- It's pretty alarming," Chris Krebs, former director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told CBS News
- Days after publicly launching Fable 5, the company said it had received a government directive banning all foreign nationals from accessing the two models
- The security agencies of Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand urged governments and businesses to act swiftly to prepare themselves as AI evolves
Summary
The risk posed by AI-enhanced hacking is in the spotlight in the wake of startup Anthropic saying in April that its cutting-edge Mythos models had unprecedented abilities to find software vulnerabilities. The security agencies of Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand urged governments and businesses to act swiftly to prepare themselves as AI evolves. "The rapid pace of frontier AI development means cyber risk assumptions can become outdated in months, not years," said a joint statement dated Monday. AI "lowers barriers for malicious actors and increases the speed and complexity of attacks," the Five Eyes advisory said.
