Global Finance Leaders Push for Mythos AI Cybersecurity Briefing

Anthropic has agreed to brief top global financial authorities and central banks on the cybersecurity flaws found by its Mythos AI model, amid regulator fears that advanced AI could be exploited to threaten global finance. The Bank of England led the push, regulators seek guidance on responsible AI adoption, and Mythos access remains limited to about 40 mostly US-based organizations including major firms like Amazon, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan. The IMF has warned that emerging AI models could trigger macro-financial shocks, intensifying focus on AI safety in finance.

Trump Proposes One-Year 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates

Bill Ackman criticized President Trump's proposal for a one-year 10% cap on credit card interest rates, warning it could lead to widespread credit card cancellations and push consumers toward higher-cost loans. Ackman acknowledged the goal of reducing rates is important but argued that making the market more competitive and fostering new entrants would be a better approach. The proposal would require congressional approval, and its implementation remains uncertain.
