The European Commission has had several productive meetings with Anthropic regarding possible future access for EU bodies to Anthropic's Mythos AI product, it ‌said ⁠on Monday.

⁠The EU was responding after ​Bloomberg News reported earlier that Anthropic was set ​to give the EU's cybersecurity agency access to Mythos.

Designed ​to find flaws in ⁠computer code ‌to help bolster ​defences ​against cyberattacks, Mythos was ⁠initially seen by some cybersecurity experts ​as enabling attacks on the ​technology systems it aims to protect, although such fears now seem overstated.


"I can confirm that the Commission had several productive ‌meetings with Anthropic. We welcome the latest developments on ​potential ​future access," ⁠said Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier.

The EU cybersecurity agency - called ENISA - is the ​body that is expected to get access to Mythos once there is agreement with Anthropic.
