The American Securities Industry Association said on Thursday that the new artificial intelligence model, Mythos, developed by Anthropic PBC, may pose risks to traders and the broader financial system through the database of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial industry organization warned that malicious actors could use artificial intelligence tools to attack the so-called consolidated audit trail system, leading to large-scale identity theft, exposure of personal trading portfolios, and amplification of internal risks. The organization has long been against this controversial market tracking database. ASA President Chris Iacovella wrote in a letter to the Secretary of the Treasury and Chairman of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, Scott Bernett: "The design of CAT did not take into account the threat environment brought by Mythos today."
