Anthropic will provide access to its Mythos AI model to 150 organisations across more than 15 countries, including India, significantly widening the availability of its advanced cyber security software beyond the United States and the United Kingdom. The company announced on Tuesday that it would expand “Project Glasswing”, an industry initiative that uses Mythos to detect and patch security vulnerabilities. Mythos is an AI model designed to identify cyber security vulnerabilities. Anthropic has previously described the technology as too powerful and potentially risky for unrestricted public release.
The programme will now include companies and institutions across more than 15 countries. Besides India, the expansion also includes members of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance, namely Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Other countries joining the initiative include France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Japan and South Korea, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato), headquartered in Brussels, has also been granted access to the technology.
Anthropic said the latest batch of organisations includes operators of critical infrastructure spanning financial services, cyber security and technology. The company added that the expanded group also covers sectors that were underrepresented in the initial phase of the programme, including power, water, healthcare, communications and hardware.
Explaining its selection criteria for widening its access to Mythos, Anthropic said all participating organisations share a common characteristic: a successful cyber-attack on their software systems could have severe consequences.
