Join me on BBC Radio Bristol as I dig into “Mythos AI” – the controversial new hacking‑capable AI model that has governments, banks and cybersecurity experts on edge.
In this live interview with John Darvill, I will unpack what Mythos AI actually is in plain English, why it is being described as “too powerful” to release widely just yet, and what it means for our money, our data and the critical systems we rely on every day.
We will cut through the hype and the headlines, and look at the very real shift from AI that merely generates content to AI that can actively probe and exploit vulnerabilities in software and infrastructure.
Listeners will hear why finance ministers and central bankers are being briefed behind closed doors, how tools like Mythos could turbo‑charge both cyber defence and cybercrime, and why ordinary people in the West of England should care about decisions made in far‑off AI labs.
I will also share practical, actionable steps for individuals, local businesses and public‑sector organisations to stay safer as this new generation of AI systems emerges.
If you are interested in the future of AI, cybersecurity and digital trust – and want a calm, informed perspective rather than clickbait scare stories – this is a conversation you will not want to miss.
