Who decides when a cyber AI tool is safe to deploy?
OpenAI and Anthropic are publicly disagreeing about whether their new AI cyber tools should be shared with European regulators.
OpenAI has offered Brussels access to its model. Anthropic is holding back, with Commission talks described as being at a different stage. Both have framed their position as the responsible one, and both arguments have merit.
But whether openness or restriction is the right call is ultimately a policy question and one that will take time to resolve. For organizations managing cyber risk today, the more immediate question is whether the teams are equipped to handle what these tools can already do.
AI systems can now autonomously carry out multi-step cyberattack tasks in controlled environments. Anthropic's Mythos completed a 32-step simulated corporate attack in testing.
Before it existed, no AI had ever done that in this type of full-chain simulation. Regulatory access to that kind of model matters for policy development....
