The Trump administration is preparing to issue an executive order that will give federal agencies authority to review advanced AI models before public release, The New York Times reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the plan.
The order, which may come as early as today, will task the Office of the National Cyber Director with creating a formal evaluation process within two months to detect security vulnerabilities. Officials are also proposing that leading AI companies voluntarily share models between 14 and 90 days in advance.
Mythos raises debate over AI-driven cyber risk in finance systems
The anticipated order comes amid mounting concerns among global finance leaders over Anthropic’s Claude Mythos AI model, which experts warn could be capable of uncovering and exploiting cybersecurity weaknesses in critical financial and digital infrastructure systems.
Early testing has reportedly shown the model can identify vulnerabilities in operating systems, web browsers and enterprise software, raising fears of systemic risk if misused.
