Golden Finance reports that on May 14th, according to AXIOS, the U.S. Congress is urging the White House to respond to the escalating AI cybersecurity threats. A letter signed by a group of 32 bipartisan House members calls on the U.S. National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross to take immediate action to address the issue of numerous cybersecurity vulnerabilities being disclosed by advanced AI systems. The lawmakers are calling for expanded defensive use permissions for tools like Mythos and GPT-5.5 Cyber, and are asking whether the government can assist software companies in verifying and patching vulnerabilities discovered in these systems. The letter states that Mythos has identified "thousands of high-risk zero-day vulnerabilities" across multiple mainstream operating systems and web browsers, including some flaws that remained undiscovered even after years of human review and automated testing. The lawmakers say, "AI can discover many serious vulnerabilities, but the corresponding disclosure, verification, patching, and deployment work may struggle to keep pace." The letter proposes seven recommendations, including coordinating responses to large-scale vulnerability disclosures generated by AI, assisting critical infrastructure operators in deploying patches, and expanding trusted access to advanced neural network models. It requests that the White House Cybersecurity Office hold a staff-level briefing within 30 days and submit a written response within 45 days outlining the government's response plan.
