makes sense that banks would be on the hook for this stuff given how much they rely on these systems now
The article doesn't say banks are on the hook for anything, just that Bessent asked execs some questions.
Nah, he's clearly trying to spook the markets and make it look like there's a problem.
Wait, why is Treasury calling bank execs to talk about an AI company's cyber risks?? That's Anthropic's problem to fix, not the banks'.
If Anthropic had a real security breach, why are we hearing about it from a Treasury meeting instead of, you know, Anthropic or the news?
Valid point - the Treasury angle here suggests this is more about systemic financial sector risk than a confirmed breach at Anthropic itself.
Finally!! Bessent is actually doing something useful instead of just talking about it like everyone else has been for years now!
THANK GOD someone in this admin is actually taking cyber threats seriously instead of letting Trump's billionaire buddies run wild!
This is theater!! We should be regulating AI companies PERIOD, not just having cozy meetings with the banks that profit from them. Anthropic needs actual oversight, not a chat with executives who don't want rules anyway.
So what kind of regulation are you thinking - the kind that lets the government decide what AI can say?
If Anthropic actually got breached they need to say it directly instead of having Treasury call meetings about it - this vague stuff just spooks markets for no reason.

So we're having banking execs in to talk about AI security risks? Good, about time somebody took this seriously instead of just letting tech companies do whatever they want.
Trump would've done the same thing, stop acting like this is something new.
