Cybersecurity & Governance: the Mythos/Glasswing Case

In April 2026, Anthropic published a 244-page System Card detailing the capabilities of a model withheld from public release: Claude Mythos Preview. In just weeks, this system autonomously identified thousands of zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and browsers, including a critical 17-year-old flaw in FreeBSD granting remote root access.
To mitigate this impact, Project Glasswing restricts access to a select group of organizations, allowing defensive teams to patch systems before threats emerge. However, the inevitable proliferation of these frontier capabilities poses an existential dilemma for modern cybersecurity.
In this talk, Dani Lupión —a software engineer with two decades of industry experience and secretary of PauseAI Spain— bridges these technical milestones with the political urgency of enacting governance before the regulatory window closes. A session tailored for tech professionals who recognize the paradigm shift and seek concrete paths forward.
