Paul Stenhouse: Anthropic's new model could be a major cybersecurity threat and a survey reveals parents' concerns about their children's online safety

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

The next level of AI is about to be released, and there are major concerns   The models just keep getting better and better and now Anthropic, the maker of Claude, says its software engineering capability is now so advanced that it's finding thousands of vulnerabilities in software that no one knew existed.   Anthropic says "the fallout for economies, public safety, and national security could be severe". Anthropic has shared its new model Mythos with an alliance of cybersecurity companies as well as another 40 organizations. The CEO of Cisco, the maker of networking equipment, says AI has reached a level where critical infrastructure needs to be protected. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met with critical US banks in the wake of the model's preview release.     Three quarters of parents fear their child could not make safe online privacy choices   The survey by the UK's data watchdog shows we need to be teaching kids about online safety just like we would road safety, because it's an essential life skill.   35% of parents think their child would share personal information in exchange for game tokens.  22% of children had shared health details with AI tools.  24% of children had shared their real name or address online.  and 21% of parents had never discussed online privacy with their children.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
