AXIOS (Sam Sabin) - The next phase of AI cybersecurity still needs humans
Anthropic and OpenAI's cyber-capable AI models may still require significant human expertise to operate effectively, according to new findings from users testing the systems in real-world environments. Why it matters: The new phase of AI-powered cybersecurity may depend less on fully autonomous hacking and more on how effectively humans can direct, validate and operationalize increasingly powerful systems. The big picture: When Anthropic unveiled Mythos Preview to the world, it warned that the model was so powerful that it found tens of thousands of bugs spanning nearly every operating system. - Third-party testing suggests that OpenAI's GPT-5.5-Cyber is just as powerful as Mythos at finding bugs and writing exploits. - Major…
