The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is closely monitoring potential risks that Anthropic's new AI system Mythos could pose to the country's financial sector. The central bank has expressed concerns that the advanced artificial intelligence technology could impact borrowers' ability to service their loans and repay debt obligations.

The RBNZ highlighted two primary areas of concern regarding Mythos integration into New Zealand's banking system. First, the technology could affect credit assessment processes and borrower behavior in ways that might compromise loan repayment capabilities. Second, the bank warned of heightened cybersecurity risks that could emerge from increased AI adoption across financial institutions, potentially exposing the sector to new forms of digital threats and vulnerabilities.
