Could “Banned Topics” help stop AI hackers?
Researchers suggest that restricting certain topics in AI systems could help prevent cyberattacks. The method uses an approach similar to the techniques hackers use to manipulate AI models, but applies it as a defensive measure.
OpenAI slows GPT-5.6 rollout
OpenAI has temporarily limited the rollout of its new GPT-5.6 models at the request of the U.S. government. Initially, only a small group of vetted partners will receive access while authorities assess potential national security risks.
US order halts AI models
Anthropic is temporarily suspending access to its advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The move follows a US government order that prohibits access for foreign nationals both inside and outside the United States.
The biggest cyber threats in 2026
In 2026, businesses face a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape shaped by AI, ransomware, and increasingly sophisticated attack methods. Cybercriminals are using generative AI to automate phishing campaigns, and exploit vulnerabilities faster.
Controversy over Palantir deal
A political and public dispute has erupted in London after Mayor Sadiq Khan blocked a £50 million contract between the Metropolitan Police and US data analytics company Palantir.
Swiss banks assess AI risks from Mythos
The Swiss financial sector is closely watching Anthropic’s powerful AI model Mythos, but does not yet see it as an immediate crisis. Mythos can reportedly detect unknown software bugs quickly.
Pentagon signs contracts for military AI projects

Anthropic’s Mythos and what to do next
Growing concerns about cybersecurity threats should not lead to exaggerated “vulnocalypse” scenarios. Large language models are increasingly capable of detecting software vulnerabilities, but they do not automatically trigger uncontrollable disasters.
Europe leads in AI research, but lags behind in commercialization
Europe achieves outstanding results in research across artificial intelligence, drones, robotics, quantum technologies, and cybersecurity, establishing itself as one of the world’s leading scientific regions.
Anthropic withholds Mythos Model over safety concerns
Anthropic has developed a new AI model called “Claude Mythos Preview,” but the company has decided not to release it publicly due to serious security concerns. The model proved highly effective at identifying and exploiting critical vulnerabilities.
