China Ranks First In The World In AI Patents

More patents related to generative artificial intelligence have been filed by China every year since 2017 than by the rest of the world, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) reported to the United Nations in Geneva, DPA reported. Examples include artificial intelligence applications such as ChatGPT or Gemini .

KEY FACTS

  • According to WIPO, Chinese companies and institutes registered over 38,000 patents in the field of generative AI in the 10 years to 2023.
  • Far behind is the US with 6,300, followed by South Korea, Japan and India. Britain is in fifth place with 714, closely followed by Germany with 708, which WIPO says has registered more patents than the UK in recent years.
  • The increase in patent applications worldwide also shows that the sector is booming. According to WIPO, there were a total of 54,000 patent applications in the field of generative AI between 2014 and 2023, but over a quarter of those were filed in the past year alone.

“Generative AI has emerged as a game-changing technology with the potential to transform the way we work, live and play,” said WIPO Director General Darren Tang.

Anthropic Unveils Advanced Cybersecurity AI Through Project Glasswing

Anthropic has introduced Claude Mythos Preview, an artificial intelligence model designed to identify vulnerabilities in software. The release forms part of the company’s Project Glasswing initiative, focused on strengthening cybersecurity as threats continue to evolve.

Innovative Cyber Capabilities

Claude Mythos Preview identifies complex software flaws that are often difficult to detect using traditional methods. In one case, the model uncovered a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD, an operating system widely known for its security standards. Access to the model is currently restricted. Anthropic said the limitation is intended to reduce the risk of misuse and ensure the technology is applied in defensive contexts.

Strategic Industry Collaborations

Major technology companies, including Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia and Amazon Web Services, joined as early partners in Project Glasswing. More than 40 additional companies, including CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks, are working with Anthropic to integrate the model into their cybersecurity systems.

Balancing Innovation With Caution

Dianne Penn said in a CNBC interview that the launch followed an extensive internal review. The company is also working with U.S. agencies, including the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Center for AI Standards and Innovation, to align deployment with safety requirements. Dario Amodei said the company is focused on balancing defensive benefits with potential risks linked to advanced AI systems.

Expanding AI Infrastructure Security

Anthropic has allocated up to $100 million in usage credits for selected partners. The programme is aimed at testing the model across proprietary and open-source systems. Early access is focused on companies managing critical infrastructure, as Anthropic evaluates broader deployment scenarios.

Outlook

Project Glasswing reflects a shift toward AI-driven cybersecurity tools designed to identify vulnerabilities earlier in the development cycle. Adoption will depend on how effectively companies balance improved detection capabilities with the risks associated with advanced AI systems.
