Irish Times: Bailey and Lagarde warn at IMF spring meetings that Mythos-class AI could threaten world banking system

The Irish Times reported that Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey and ECB President Christine Lagarde both issued public warnings about AI models like Mythos at the IMF spring meetings in Washington. Bailey, chairing the Financial Stability Board, warned Mythos 'could crack the whole cyber risk world open.' Lagarde stated that no governance framework currently exists to contain tools of this reach if they fall into the wrong hands.

Named statements from the FSB chair and ECB president at the IMF's principal forum elevate Mythos from a bilateral regulatory concern to a stated G7-level financial stability issue with no existing international governance solution.
