Anthropic's Mythos AI poses billion-dollar threat to DeFi, experts say

Mythos, a high-performance vulnerability detection AI developed by Anthropic, could fundamentally shake the cryptocurrency security ecosystem, CryptoSlate reported. The AI demonstrated its capabilities by instantly identifying a 27-year-old bug in the Linux kernel that had eluded human security experts for months. Security experts are warning that DeFi and cross-chain bridges, which operate on open-source code, could be left defenseless against indiscriminate, automated attacks by such an AI. Concerns are growing that billions of dollars in assets could be stolen before humans can even recognize a bug, due to the immediate and irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions.
