May 12 (Asia Today) -- South Korea is preparing new measures to counter AI-powered cyberattacks after Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview demonstrated advanced ability to find and exploit software vulnerabilities.
The Ministry of Science and ICT plans to announce countermeasures as early as late May, officials said Tuesday.
The move follows what officials described as the "Mythos shock," after Anthropic said its unreleased frontier model could outperform all but the most skilled humans in discovering software vulnerabilities. Anthropic has limited the model's use to defensive cybersecurity work through Project Glasswing, a partnership that includes Amazon Web Services, Apple, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA and other major technology firms.
Science and ICT Minister Bae Kyung-hoon said AI is reshaping cybersecurity and that South Korea must build a security system capable of defending against AI with AI.
