About this episode

A new artificial intelligence model blindsided policymakers at meetings of the International Monetary Fund, raising fears of faster, more-sophisticated cyberattacks on the global financial system. But the same technology also is being touted by its builders as the most powerful defense banks could have. On this week’s episode of Trumponomics, host Stephanie Flanders and guests Michael Deng, geoeconomics technology analyst at Bloomberg Economics, and Bloomberg News reporter Laura Noonan break down why Mythos, Anthropic’s most powerful AI model, is sparking both panic and optimism in boardrooms and across governments—and what it means for the security of the global financial system.
