The model has attracted interest from banks because it is considered among the most advanced AI systems for identifying cybersecurity vulnerabilities, helping firms uncover and fix weaknesses more quickly.\n\nHowever, in June, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to restrict access to its top AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, to foreign nationals over national security concerns, forcing the company to cut off worldwide access.\n\nThe government later removed restrictions on the models after Anthropic implemented new safeguards.\n\nGovernments and tech companies are grappling with AI safety concerns, including the misuse of systems capable of identifying software vulnerabilities. Washington has stepped up oversight of new model releases amid fears that advanced AI could be exploited by military intelligence in China, Russia or other countries of concern.\n\nAnthropic could not be immediately reached for comment on Dimon's remarks outside regular business hours.\n\n(Reporting by Mihika Sharma in Bengaluru and Mrinmay Dey in Mexico; Editing by Rashmi Aich)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropic-s-mythos-ai-risks-are-a-real-issue", "canonical_source": "https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropics-002826950.html", "published_at": "2026-07-16 00:28:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-16 01:08:16.388682+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-safety", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["JPMorgan Chase", "Jamie Dimon", "Anthropic", "Mythos", "Dave McCormick", "Fable 5", "Mythos 5"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropic-s-mythos-ai-risks-are-a-real-issue", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropic-s-mythos-ai-risks-are-a-real-issue.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropic-s-mythos-ai-risks-are-a-real-issue.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/jpmorgan-ceo-dimon-says-anthropic-s-mythos-ai-risks-are-a-real-issue.jsonld"}}
