Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan revealed that the bank has assembled a team of 3,000 internal employees and 1,000 external contractors to patch software vulnerabilities discovered by AI models like Anthropic's Mythos. This highlights both the powerful discovery capabilities of frontier AI in cybersecurity and the significant human and financial bottlenecks enterprises face when dealing with high-density vulnerability reports. Although related spending reached hundreds of millions in Q3, Moynihan expects future patching costs to decrease as processes mature.
