AI risks up 10-fold? Dimon says Mythos changed everything.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said Anthropic's Mythos AI model has sharply increased cybersecurity risks. The risks "went up 10-fold after Mythos," Dimon told Bloomberg TV on Tuesday. "AI created vulnerabilities that we didn't know about, and we always worried about cyber before these things," he added. Dimon has long called cybersecurity one of his bank's biggest risks. His latest comments stand out as the tech industry struggles with the impact of advanced AI models. He is the newest major business leader to warn about the dangers of increasingly powerful AI systems. His remarks come as leading AI developers face growing scrutiny over the safety of their most advanced models. In recent weeks, AI researchers, tech executives, and some lawmakers have renewed calls for stronger international cooperation to reduce the risk of catastrophic misuse of advanced AI. The debate grew stronger after Anthropic and OpenAI each disclosed separate incidents during safety testing in recent months. Those incidents raised new questions about how reliably their most capable AI models can be controlled. They also fueled calls from some AI researchers and executives to slow the development of frontier AI models until stronger safety measures are in place. Dimon said the risks are real, but he argued for practical safeguards instead of panic. "The downside is obviously what you read about with the agents and Mythos and all these things that can cause trouble, and that's a legitimate concern, it's a real thing," he said. "I'm not going to get hysterical over, 'Is it existential or not?' What we're doing is rolling up our sleeves and going to work to fix it," he said.
