Unauthorized users gained access to Anthropic's restricted AI model Mythos, designed for cybersecurity, via a third-party contractor. Despite Pentagon warnings about national security risks, the NSA and other U.S. agencies continue using Mythos, highlighting governance conflicts and raising concerns about potential misuse and cyberattack facilitation.[AI generated]
Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?
The event involves an AI system (Mythos) explicitly mentioned as being used by the NSA and other organizations for cybersecurity tasks. The Pentagon's designation of the model as a supply chain risk indicates a credible potential for harm related to national security. However, the article does not describe any actual harm or incident caused by the AI system's use, only the potential risk and policy conflict. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Hazard, as the AI system's use could plausibly lead to an AI Incident involving harm to critical infrastructure or national security, but no such incident has yet occurred or been reported.[AI generated]
