Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has issued an urgent warning to Indian banks regarding Anthropic’s Mythos, an unreleased AI model deemed "too dangerous for public release." In a high-level meeting with SBI Chairman and MeitY officials on April 23, 2026, the FM highlighted that Mythos can autonomously exploit thousands of software vulnerabilities, including 27-year-old bugs. While asserting that Indian banks are currently secure, she directed the IBA to establish a real-time threat intelligence sharing mechanism with CERT-In. Watch for the government's strategy to use AI as a shield against these unprecedented "AI-born" financial risks.
