Spain's Bank Seeks AI Access, Cites Cyber Risks

The Bank of Spain is urging for enhanced global collaboration and greater access to advanced AI tools, specifically mentioning Anthropic's Glasswing model, to combat escalating cybersecurity threats. The central bank's financial stability report highlights concerns that new AI engines, like Anthropic's Mythos, could accelerate the exploitation of software vulnerabilities. This rapid exploitation could lead to a significant reduction in the time between vulnerability discovery and malicious attack. In worst-case scenarios, the widespread development of such AI could trigger synchronized cyberattacks across the global financial system and broader economy, posing a systemic risk.
