Korea’s major tech firms are in discussions with the government about joining Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative launched by U.S. AI giant Anthropic in response to the potentially disruptive capabilities of its own AI model, Mythos.

The consultations come as the country became the latest to join OpenAI's Government and Institutional Trust-Based Access Program alongside Japan, which specializes in AI-powered cyber defense.
