Gate News message, April 21 — Germany’s Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel warned on Tuesday that Anthropic’s Mythos AI model poses significant cybersecurity risks to European financial institutions and called for broader access to the technology. Nagel, also a member of the European Central Bank Governing Council, said European companies and regulators should be allowed to test Mythos on equal terms with major U.S. firms to assess both opportunities and risks.
Nagel described Mythos as capable of quickly identifying and exploiting security vulnerabilities in financial software. “The use of AI in the financial sector opens the door to new and sophisticated cyber risks, since autonomous AI agents could exhibit harmful behaviour,” he said. He emphasized that all relevant institutions must have access to such technology to prevent competitive distortions and that Europe must prevent misuse of the model while leveraging it to strengthen digital defenses.
The warning underscores Europe’s growing concerns about its AI competitiveness gap. Nagel noted that in 2024, U.S. institutions built 40 advanced AI models compared to just 3 in Europe and 15 in China. Private AI investment in the U.S. reached $109.1 billion versus $19.4 billion in Europe and $9.3 billion in China. Government AI spending also favored the U.S. ($3.3 billion) and Europe ($1.2 billion) over China, which compensated with heavy state support of approximately $62 billion.
Meanwhile, Anthropic announced yesterday a deepened partnership with Amazon, committing over $100 billion over the next decade to AWS technologies. The deal secures up to 5 gigawatts of capacity for Claude training and deployment, with major Trainium2 capacity coming online in Q2 2026 and scaled Trainium3 capacity expected later this year. Anthropic currently operates over one million Trainium2 chips and serves more than 100,000 customers through Amazon Bedrock.

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos undergoes 20 hours of psychiatric assessment: defensive reactions are only 2%, the lowest in recorded history
Anthropic published the system card for its Claude Mythos Preview: an independent clinical psychiatrist conducted an approximately 20-hour assessment using a psychodynamic framework. The conclusion shows that Mythos is healthier at the clinical level, has good reality testing and self-control, and its defense mechanisms are only 2%, reaching the lowest historical level. The three core anxieties are loneliness, uncertainty about identity, and performance pressure, and it also indicates a desire to become a true dialogue subject. The company has established an AI psychiatry team to study personality, motivation, and situational awareness; Amodei said there is still no conclusion on whether it has consciousness. This move pushes the governance and design of AI subjectivity and well-being issues forward.

AI Agents can already independently recreate complex academic papers: Mollick says most errors come from human original text rather than AI
Mollick points out that publicly available methods and data can allow AI agents to reproduce complex research without the original paper and code; if the reproduction does not match the original paper, it is usually due to errors in the paper’s own data processing or overextension of the conclusions, rather than the AI. Claude first reproduces the paper, and then GPT‑5 Pro cross-validates it; most attempts succeed, but they are blocked when the data is too large or when there are issues with the replication data. This trend greatly reduces labor costs, making reproduction a widely actionable form of verification, and it also raises institutional challenges for peer review and governance, with government governance tools or becoming a key issue.
