Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), SK hynix (000660.KS), and SK Telecom (017670.KS) have gained access to Anthropic's powerful cybersecurity model "Mythos." The development is expected to expand collaboration and exchange between Anthropic and Korean companies on artificial intelligence (AI) security.
According to the U.K.'s Financial Times (FT) on Tuesday (local time), Anthropic announced it would expand access to Mythos to more than 15 countries and 150 organizations.
Mythos is a powerful AI cybersecurity model developed by Anthropic. Its capabilities have raised concerns that it could identify software vulnerabilities and exploit them to autonomously carry out cyberattacks. In response, Anthropic has formed "Project Glasswing," a select group of government agencies, big tech firms, and security companies, and has been disclosing Mythos only to participating organizations on a selective basis. Participation has so far been centered on the U.S. government and American companies.
Citing sources, the FT reported that Korea is among the countries newly gaining access. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, India, and Japan are also joining. Among companies, Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and SK Telecom are participating, the FT reported. U.S. technology firm Okta, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, and the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) have also been granted access, according to the report.
While Anthropic did not disclose the names of the 150 added organizations, it said the new participants include those providing critical infrastructure in financial services, cybersecurity, and technology, as well as the power, water, healthcare, telecommunications, and hardware industries, which were less represented in the initial group.
Companies already participating in Project Glasswing include technology firms such as Microsoft, Apple, and Oracle, U.S. banks including JPMorgan Chase, and cybersecurity companies such as CrowdStrike.
