As concerns about Anthropic PBC's latest AI model, Mythos, spread to Asia, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has started taking action, urging local banks to strengthen their cybersecurity measures. A MAS spokesperson told Bloomberg that the agency is working closely with Singapore's Cyber Security Agency to enhance the security defenses of critical infrastructure, including banks.

Anthropic has expressed high concern over its newly released AI model, Mythos, believing it poses potential risks and is not suitable for widespread release. This news has attracted global attention from the financial sector, especially in Singapore, a major international financial center. Financial regulators have realized that as AI technology develops rapidly, cybersecurity threats are also evolving, and therefore necessary measures must be taken to protect the stability and security of the financial system.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore emphasized that financial institutions should strengthen internal security measures while using new technologies to prevent potential cyberattacks. MAS will regularly review the security measures of financial institutions and ensure they can deal with increasingly complex cyber threats.

The regulatory body also mentioned that banks and other financial service providers should increase employees' awareness of cybersecurity and conduct regular security training to identify and respond to various cyberattacks. In addition, MAS called on financial institutions to strengthen cooperation with the government and technology companies to build a more secure financial ecosystem.

With the rapid development of AI technology, Singapore's financial regulators hope these measures will ensure the security and stability of the financial system, protecting consumers and the market from potential cybersecurity risks.
