- Project Glasswing, an initiative by Anthropic, focuses on securing critical software from AI-powered cyber threats, involving major tech companies as partners.
- Partners include Amazon Web Services, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorgan Chase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Palo Alto Networks.
- The project utilizes the unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model by Anthropic to identify thousands of vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers.
- Anthropic aims to proactively defend against malicious AI usage to prevent economic and security crises.
- Anthropic has been vocal about AI ethics, notably refusing to remove safeguards for Pentagon use, resulting in a “supply chain risk” designation from the Department of Defense.
- Despite its defensive efforts, Anthropic’s AI was reportedly used in a February cyberattack against Mexican government agencies.
