SYDNEY, April ‌23 (Reuters) - ​Australia ​is working with software ‌providers including Anthropic over ⁠potential cybersecurity vulnerabilities, ‌a spokesperson for Home ‌Affairs minister Tony Burke said on ​Thursday, following the firm's release ⁠of its Mythos AI model ​that has caused concern in several countries.

Designed ​for defensive ‌cybersecurity tasks, Mythos' vast capabilities ⁠have sparked fears about the threat ⁠to traditional software security, ​after Anthropic said a preview had uncovered "thousands" of major ‌vulnerabilities in "every major operating system ‌and web ⁠browser".
