Bank of America Adds 1,000 Contractors to Patch AI-Exposed Software Flaws

Summary

Bank of America added 1,000 contractors in the second quarter to help patch software vulnerabilities surfaced by advanced AI models, including Anthropic’s Mythos, CEO Brian Moynihan told CNBC. The work covers flaws in both the bank’s internal software and software supplied by vendors. The disclosure gives a concrete workforce figure for remediation work linked to AI-driven vulnerability discovery. The article cautions that the reported spending combines Mythos-related remediation with anti-money-laundering work, so it should not be treated as the standalone cost of using the model. The report does not provide a separate price for Mythos or quantify the number of vulnerabilities fixed.
