SYDNEY--The Reserve Bank of Australia has signaled its growing concerns about the risks posed by the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and the potential for cyber attacks on the financial system, saying that it is monitoring developments associated with Anthropic and its developing capabilities.

"The RBA has noted the recent announcement by Anthropic regarding its Claude Mythos release's coding and vulnerability identification capabilities and the community's response," an RBA spokesperson said Wednesday.

"The RBA is closely monitoring this development including engaging with peer regulators, government and regulated entities," the statement added.

"RBA, along with peer regulators and government agencies will continue to assess the implications of these technological advancements to ensure the ongoing safety and resilience of the financial system."

The RBA chairs Australia's Council of Financial Regulators, which has oversight of the financial system and its regulation.

Anthropic has claimed that Mythos can identify vulnerabilities in every major operating system, prompting calls for its use to be regulated and contained.
