Bank of America hires 4,000 people to fix vulnerabilities found by AI models

Bank of America hired 1,000 outside contractors to work with 3,000 internal employees since the second quarter to fix software vulnerabilities uncovered by AI models, including Anthropic's Mythos. CEO Brian Moynihan said the bank spent a few hundred million dollars in the third quarter on this software work combined with anti-money-laundering requirements. Anthropic released Mythos to select partners in April, stating the model found thousands of serious security vulnerabilities, followed by OpenAI's Daybreak program in May.
