MEPs assess with Council and Commission representatives the rapid deployment of advanced AI models and the challenges they pose for the EU’s security. MEPs raise concerns over EU cybersecurity and preparedness in the face of new, sophisticated AI models, such as Anthropic’s Mythos and Open AI’s GPT-5.5-Cybermodels, which are equipped with specialised capabilities designed to identify and exploit hidden software vulnerabilities. While not yet released to the wider public, experts warn against the dangers of misuse they present. The latest developments in granting EU authorities and companies access to test new AI models, the application of the EU’s cybersecurity and artificial intelligence frameworks and the broader implications for the EU’s economy and critical infrastructure are also part of the discussion.
