Co-founder and chairman of Endowus Samuel Rhee, who was among the attendees, said the consumer experience at the financial technology company has been enhanced significantly by Anthropic\u2019s AI models.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Anthropic is doing is trying to launch solutions like the manager agent or the advisor tools, and those are actually going to help enable human users of the model to maximise the model’s capabilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
For Mr Quek Siu Rui, CEO and co-founder of Carousell, Anthropic\u2019s speed in launching updates and products was notable.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just gives you a glimpse into the potential of what AI and agents can do for your business, and for me, I’m just sitting there in the audience thinking about how Carousell can move so much faster if we embrace AI and agents,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, is known for the AI platform Claude, which has rivalled other firms\u2019 frontier AI models such as OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT, Google\u2019s Gemini, and DeepSeek.<\/p>\n
The company has also been in the headlines for its dispute with the US after Anthropic refused to remove guardrails against using its AI for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance. \u00a0<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump said Anthropic was “shaping up” in the eyes of his administration, months after his administration blacklisted the company.<\/p>\n
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had met with White House \u200bofficials last Friday to attempt to repair the relationship.<\/p>\n
More recently, the company\u2019s launch of the AI model Mythos has sparked concerns among regulators for its capabilities.<\/p>\n
Announced on Apr 7, Anthropic has said that Mythos can identify and exploit \u201czero-day vulnerabilities\u201d \u2013 flaws previously unknown to the software\u2019s developers \u2013 in every major operating system and web browser when directed by a user.<\/p>\n
This poses a danger as flaws identified by the model could be potentially exploited by hackers.<\/p>\n
Instead of releasing the model to the public, Mythos is being deployed under a controlled initiative \u2013 Project Glasswing \u2013 in which select organisations are permitted to use its Mythos Preview model to fix vulnerabilities in their systems.<\/p>\n
The company has shared the model with over 40 organisations that provide technology used in maintaining critical global infrastructure, including Apple and Microsoft.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Bloomberg reported that a small group of unauthorised users had already accessed the Mythos model.<\/p>\n
Anthropic has said it is investigating a report claiming unauthorised access to Mythos Preview through one of its third-party vendor environments.<\/p>\n
In an advisory on Apr 15, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) urged organisations to strengthen their cybersecurity measures, citing the potential for increased risks from frontier AI models.<\/p>\n
CSA has issued an alert to sector leads and critical information infrastructure owners to tighten cyber hygiene measures and put in place longer-term mitigation measures, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
