The Mythos zero-day exploit directly sped up AI regulation.

According to Beating Monitoring, US ONCD convened a closed-door meeting with leading laboratories such as OpenAI on May 19, to discuss the upcoming AI executive order, which is set as a voluntary pre-release review framework. The new regulation explicitly states that laboratories must disclose to the government up to 90 days before public release, and they are working to reduce this period to 14 days before release. Standards for cutting-edge models will be jointly drafted by NSA, ONCD, OSTP, and others, with the Department of Defense establishing a classified assessment process. Previously, Anthropic's Mythos demonstrated the ability to discover zero-day vulnerabilities, which directly accelerated the formation of the new regulation.
