Project Glasswing: When AI Becomes the Ultimate Hacker—and Defender

Anthropic has introduced Project Glasswing, a cybersecurity initiative powered by an unreleased AI model called Claude Mythos. This system can identify zero-day vulnerabilities, generate exploits, and even help fix them—often without human input. But there’s a catch: it’s considered too powerful for public release. In this episode, we discuss what Project Glasswing is, why it matters, and what it means for the future of cybersecurity, red teaming, and AI-driven threats. Is this the beginning of AI defending us—or the start of something much harder to control? ** Links mentioned on the show ** Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing: why an AI superhacker has the tech world on alert Anthropic Project Glasswing ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.
