Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama of Japan is scheduled to convene discussions with the nation’s leading banking institutions as soon as this week regarding Anthropic PBC’s newest artificial intelligence system called Mythos, according to a Tuesday report from Bloomberg News that cited sources with knowledge of the planned meetings.
The scheduled conversations will include representatives from Japan’s three largest financial institutions: Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc, and Mizuho Financial Group Inc, the Bloomberg report indicated.
Bloomberg’s reporting did not provide details about the specific agenda for these meetings. The Mythos artificial intelligence system has generated alarm among financial regulators due to its remarkable capability to detect weaknesses in digital security systems and the possibility that it could be exploited for harmful purposes.
Reuters noted they were unable to independently confirm the Bloomberg report at this time.
