AI Spots Major Security Flaws in Internet Encryption

An AI model named Mythos recently scanned complex security codes. It found a way to break a new type of encryption that experts had spent two years reviewing. The computer program discovered these flaws in just 60 hours.

This experiment cost about 100,000 dollars to run. While the specific encryption tested is not yet widely used on the internet, the results are a big deal. They prove that AI can now find deep mathematical errors much faster than humans can.

Anthropic says this is a warning for the future of online safety. We need to prepare for a time when AI might be used to attack our core data systems. Security experts will now have to find new ways to protect our information.
