## AI overview

The article argues that Mythos represents a potential new class of software-security threat: AI-driven combinations of existing issues that can produce more serious attacks than individual scanner findings. It discusses the limits of government regulation and calls for stronger trust infrastructure, coordinated disclosure, and safer open-source consumption.

## Source excerpt

Mythos is changing software security fast. AI-driven zero-days demand new trust infrastructure, coordinated disclosure, and secure open source consumption.
