Amidst anxiety about Anthropic’s as yet unreleased Mythos model, whose much-hyped hacking ability has raised fears of a looming "bugmageddon," two top Pentagon tech leaders said this morning they were optimistic that Mythos - and future models like it - could help cyber defenders even more.

"I hear a lot of people talking about challenges and threats when they talk about Mythos," said Katherine Sutton, Assistant Secretary for Cyber Policy, told the SCSP AI+Expo this morning. "[But] there’s huge opportunity in these models. One of the foundational things that they’re going to enable is the development of secure code."

"Those vulnerabilities have always existed," said Emil Michael, the Pentagon’s CTO and Under Secretary for Research and Engineering, following Sutton on the SCSP stage. "Now you can find them faster, and the good news is you can patch them faster."

"The bad news is you can exploit them faster," he acknowledged. "So that creates a moment where it’s incumbent upon the country, not just the government, to harden the systems."

儘管外界對Anthropic尚未發表的Mythos模型感到焦慮，擔心其備受矚目的駭客能力可能引發一場迫在眉睫的「程式漏洞末日」，但兩位五角大廈科技領袖於今晨表示，他們樂觀地認為 Mythos及其未來的同類模型，能對網路防禦者提供更大的幫助。

「當人們談論Mythos時，我聽到許多人討論挑戰與威脅，」國防部負責網路政策的助理部長薩頓今晨在SCSP AI+博覽會上表示。「（但）這些模型蘊含著巨大機遇。它們將促成的基礎性進步之一，就是開發出安全的程式碼。」

緊接在薩頓之後登場的五角大廈首席技術長兼負責研究與工程的次長邁克爾表示：「那些漏洞一直都存在，現在你能更快地找到它們，好消息是，你也能更快地修補它們。」

「壞消息是，你也能更快地利用這些漏洞進行攻擊，」他承認道。「因此，這形成了一個關鍵時刻，強化系統安全不僅是政府的職責，更是整個國家的義務。」
