Anthropic has offered the EU access to its Mythos artificial intelligence model, in the first instance of expanded access to the highly capable cyber security software outside the US and the UK.
A spokesperson for the EU’s cyber security agency Enisa confirmed it was in talks to use the model, a development that was first reported by Bloomberg. “It’s been offered but the conditions are still being agreed,” the spokesperson said.
European Commission officials visited San Francisco last week to negotiate with the company about joining its so-called Project Glasswing — an industry coalition of mainly US companies that have been using it since early April to find and patch security vulnerabilities in their systems.
“I can confirm that the Commission had several productive meetings with Anthropic. We welcome the latest developments on potential future access,” European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier said on Monday.
“This is the result of the Commission’s strong bilateral co-operation and engagement with Anthropic,” he said, adding that “this latest development is of utmost importance to get a clear picture of the potential risks”.
