Why it matters for readers: It matters because AI models are now uncovering real security problems that companies must spend money and people to resolve.

  • Bank of America deployed 3,000 employees plus 1,000 external contractors to fix vulnerabilities found by AI models.1
  • Anthropic's Mythos, released to select partners via Project Glasswing, is reported to have found thousands of serious security vulnerabilities.1
  • OpenAI launched a Daybreak cybersecurity program after Mythos, and independent evaluations and incidents like the Hugging Face hack raised concern about AI security findings.1
  • CEO Brian Moynihan said the bank spent a few hundred million dollars in Q3 on the software work and anti‑money‑laundering requirements together, without separating patching costs.1
  • Moynihan expects the cost of patching vulnerabilities identified by AI to come down over time.1
