Bank of England Governor Bailey warns that AI model Mythos may threaten financial stability
Golden Ten Data reported on April 15 that Bank of England Governor Bailey stated on Tuesday local time that global regulators need to swiftly assess the risks brought by Anthropic’s artificial intelligence model, Mythos. Bailey noted that since the financial crisis, cyberattacks have rapidly climbed in the risk rankings, and warned that this is a “threat that will never go away.” “We all have to figure out this issue, but I think it very clearly illustrates the breadth of risks to financial stability.” The Bank of England will meet with the banking industry in the coming weeks to discuss the risks arising from advances in artificial intelligence, over concerns that the technology could expose significant vulnerabilities in banks’ technological security. Due to the fear it may be used for cyberattacks, Anthropic is restricting the release of its latest AI model, opening it only to a handful of major technology firms. This is intended to give businesses more time to strengthen their defenses against potential threats. Bailey stated: “The issue is to what extent this new version of the product is able to identify vulnerabilities in other systems and be used for cyberattacks.” Bailey also remained cautious about the Bank of England’s interest rate policy response to shocks from Iran. He said the conflict is a “major supply shock,” but it is best to address it at its source, rather than through monetary policy tools, and any persistent threat of inflation needs to be assessed in the context of the weak UK economy. He said: “We must also assess the second-round effect on inflation. The key lies in how persistent this impact will be.”
