Anthropic’s new AI model raises fears about high-tech risks

Season 2026 Episode 75 | 6m 19s

Anthropic announced that it has started a very limited test of its newest AI model called Mythos. It's a model deemed so powerful that the company warned it could cause widespread disruption if it were released to the public. Anthropic is giving some companies access to Mythos to test and identify vulnerabilities, a move that is raising concerns. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Gerrit De Vynck.
