Bessent and Powell Meet Wall Street CEOs Over AI Cybersecurity Risks

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell held a flash meeting with CEOs from major banks to discuss AI-related cybersecurity risks.
The meeting was prompted by concerns over Anthropic's AI model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can autonomously exploit software vulnerabilities.
Banks involved include Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, all deemed crucial to the global financial system.
The U.S. military's previous partnership with Anthropic has been strained due to concerns over the use of its technology for autonomous weapons.
