India tests open-source AI models to gauge cyber flaws as threats escalate

“What we’re doing to prepare ourselves against AI risks is Cert-In’s own sandbox for such vulnerabilities, in which the body is testing cyber vulnerabilities in popular platforms. These open-source and other models can produce about 60% of the overall performance that (Anthropic’s) Mythos is capable of, and we’re using this to identify cyber vulnerabilities in various systems and patch them. The idea is that whenever Mythos does become widely available, we should already have a more secure enterprise environment,” said S. Krishnan, secretary at Meity, at a press conference on Monday.
