European Union Demands Access to AI Model That Can Break Into Any Bank System
Brussels, Tuesday, 5 May 2026.
EU finance ministers are scrambling to gain access to Anthropic’s Mythos AI model after it demonstrated the ability to find thousands of critical vulnerabilities in banking systems worldwide. The model successfully completed all 32 steps of a simulated corporate network attack and discovered security flaws dating back decades, including a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD. While the US restricts access to select organizations, European regulators warn their banks remain defenseless against AI-powered cyberattacks. ECB President Christine Lagarde described the potential impact as ‘really bad’ if hostile actors gain access first.

Dutch Fertility Clinics Turn to AI for Embryo Selection Despite Lack of Proven Success
Amsterdam, Wednesday, 29 April 2026.
Four out of sixteen Dutch IVF laboratories now use artificial intelligence to select embryos, despite no scientific evidence that AI improves pregnancy rates. The technology photographs embryos every ten minutes and assigns scores from zero to ten, but research shows it may actually be more expensive without delivering better outcomes. With Netherlands’ IVF success rates stagnant at thirty percent for twenty years, experts warn against costly unproven technologies that could jeopardize insurance coverage for treatments.
