Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported that senior US officials had raised concerns about the cybersecurity implications of a newly released artificial intelligence model from Anthropic, including its ability to identify software vulnerabilities at a scale that could outpace traditional defensive approaches. The report said US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent convened a meeting with chief executives from several major US banks – including Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo – alongside Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, to discuss emerging AI‑driven cyber risks. JPMorgan Chase was invited but unable to attend, the report added.
