On April 15, Jin10 reported that Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey emphasized the urgent need for global regulators to assess the risks posed by Anthropic's AI model, Mythos. According to Jin10, Bailey noted that since the financial crisis, the threat of cyberattacks has rapidly escalated in risk assessments, warning that it is a "perpetual" threat. He stated, "We all must address this issue, which highlights the broad scope of financial stability risks." The Bank of England plans to meet with the banking sector in the coming weeks to discuss the risks associated with AI advancements, amid concerns that the technology could expose significant vulnerabilities in banking security systems. Anthropic is restricting the release of its latest AI model, making it available only to a select few large tech companies, due to fears it could be used for cyberattacks. This approach aims to give businesses time to bolster defenses against potential threats. Bailey remarked, "The question is to what extent this new version can identify vulnerabilities in other systems and be used for cyberattacks." Bailey also expressed caution regarding the Bank of England's interest rate policy in response to the Iranian shock. He described the conflict as a "major supply shock," suggesting it is best addressed at its source rather than through monetary policy tools. He stressed the importance of evaluating any persistent inflation threats in the context of the UK's weak economic backdrop. Bailey stated, "We must also assess the second-round effects on inflation, with the key being the extent to which these effects become persistent."
