Claude Mythos only model to complete full cyber kill chain, experts say
Despite what we saw with OpenAI’s models going rogue, creating message boards, and breaking into Hugging Face, only one advanced AI model - Anthropic’s Claude Mythos - completed the full cyber kill chain autonomously in Booz Allen’s tests.
This doesn’t mean autonomous AI attacks are overhyped. And we should point out that the models tested don’t include OpenAI’s soon-to-be-released Astra, which OpenAI on Tuesday said reached its “critical” cybersecurity capability threshold. This means the new model is so good at finding and exploiting zero-day bugs that it poses a significant risk to critical systems, both from malicious users and even from the model itself, which is capable of carrying out harmful cyber actions “if misaligned.”
Booz Allen asserts that most of the other 17 US and Chinese models it tested will achieve Mythos’ same level of weaponization within six months, and it calls mainstream AI attacks from both financially...
