Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. The cyber capabilities of Anthropic\u2019s Mythos and OpenAI\u2019s GPT-5.5 show that there is a need for the government to develop a policy response that addresses the risks around frontier artificial intelligence models while promoting secure innovation, according to the Institute for AI Policy and Strategy (IAPS).<\/p>\n

\u201cRisks beyond cyber, including biosecurity threats, are likely to emerge without additional safeguards,\u201d IAPS researchers Joe O\u2019Brien, Brianna Rosen and Christopher Covino wrote in a May 14 IAPS Policy Memo. \u201cA strategic policy response must look beyond the Mythos moment to secure models against adversaries, drive defense through automation, expand public-private information sharing, and build government capacity.\u201d
\nIt was reported April 7 that Anthropic was allowing select partners to gain early access to its Claude Mythos Preview so that they could identify vulnerabilities and strengthen systems before threats could be exploited. On Friday (May 22), Anthropic said its Mythos Preview model had ferreted out more than 10,000 cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
\nOpenAI said April 14 that ahead of its release of increasingly more capable models, it was expanding access to a program that gives cybersecurity professionals access to frontier models.
\nIn the IAPS memo, the IAPS researchers said that to secure strategic AI assets against theft and sabotage by adversaries, federal agencies should accelerate the development of technical standards for high-security data centers, coordinate with industry to test advanced security measures, and extend partnership models to include infrastructure housing frontier model weights for voluntary threat detection and analysis. The agencies should also expand their intelligence insights into adversarial development and use of frontier AI, the memo said.
\nIAPS also suggested in the memo that to defend against AI-enabled cyber operations, federal agencies should scale defensive automation and build infrastructure to detect and disrupt offensive cyber agents. They should also automate defensive research and development (R&D) across high-priority safety and security domains, per the memo.Advertisement: Scroll to Continue <\/p>\n

To track frontier AI risks, agencies should create a central federal hub for AI risk information sharing; expand public-private information-sharing mechanisms; provide agency-specific guidance on agent identifiers to track and monitor federal AI use; and invest in evaluation science and a third-party evaluation ecosystem, the memo said.
\nIAPS also recommended in the memo that the White House strengthen the federal government\u2019s ability to prevent and respond to AI-enabled crises, and that it empower the National Institute of Standards and Technology\u2019s Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) to meet the national security demands of frontier AI.
