When Jamie Dimon is asked about the greatest risk he sees to the global economy, his answer for years has been \u201cgeopolitics.\u201d <\/p>\n
It\u2019s been with good reason. In the past handful of years, Russia invaded Ukraine, a major conflict broke out between Israel and Palestine, and the U.S. and Israel then launched attacks on Iran, with the fallout spreading across the Middle East. Add to that global tensions rising because of President Trump\u2019s tariff regime, a threat to invade Greenland, and escalating trade tensions with China, and the drama on the world stage seems to be reaching a crescendo.<\/p>\n
But even these facts have been equaled by a new threat Dimon sees on the horizon: Cyber.<\/p>\n
Last month, Fortune\u2019s Beatrice Nolan exclusively reported that AI company Anthropic is developing,\u00a0and had begun testing with early access customers, a new AI model more capable than any it has released previously, following\u00a0a data leak\u00a0that revealed the model\u2019s existence.\u00a0A draft blog post that was available in an unsecured and publicly searchable data store prior to Fortune\u2019s report said the new model is called Claude Mythos and that the company believes it poses unprecedented cybersecurity risks. A multi-billion dollar market rout ensued, particularly in the software and financial services sectors.<\/p>\n
This week, Dimon was asked about his top concerns during a live podcast appearance in Oslo at the Norges Bank Investment Management conference. <\/p>\n
\u201cCyber,\u201d was his immediate response. He explained: \u201cThe bad guys can use cyber, and\u00a0they\u2019re going to get stronger and more\u00a0powerful in terms of finding\u00a0vulnerabilities. It\u2019s been written\u00a0about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Turning to the most dramatic risk for the free world in the longer term, Dimon also mentioned global political tensions. The wars in Ukraine and Iran are top of mind, and \u201cour relationship with NATO has to stay strong,\u201d Dimon added. \u201cThe worst thing we can do is fragment it \u2026 what we should be doing is trying to\u00a0make sure we keep the western world\u00a0together. <\/p>\n
\u201cFragmentation would be the reason\u00a0that a book is written one day: \u2018How the\u00a0West was Lost\u2019 \u2026 I\u2019m quite conscious that we should do that\u00a0to strengthen our economic alliances,\u00a0strengthen our military alliances. There\u00a0are legitimate complaints, no problem, we can deal with those, but we should\u00a0make sure we don\u2019t fragment the world we\u00a0have\u2014which is precisely what Russia and China wants.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reality bites<\/p>\n
For all the promise AI offers to businesses, employees, and Wall Street, its very potential is also the reason it poses such a massive risk. Dimon\u2019s cyber concerns, now with a real-world example in Mythos, echo the worries first tabled when developments in artificial intelligence first began garnering attention. <\/p>\n
Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, wrote back in 2023 that he had identified three risks when it came to AI: The rapid pace of economic disruption, ensuring that AI systems remain aligned with human values and interests, and finally, bad actors having access to AI. As Gates wrote, models would become more powerful and \u201cmore capable of conducting cyber-attacks, creating biological weapons, even compromising national security.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mythos creator Anthropic itself has been quick to highlight instances where its technology has been used for ill. In mid-September 2025, the Silicon Valley disruptor wrote that it had identified a \u201chighly sophisticated espionage campaign\u201d focused on roughly 30 global targets\u2014and succeeded in a small number of cases. In a blog post, Anthropic detailed that it had \u201chigh confidence\u201d that the attacker was a Chinese state-sponsored group, who had \u201cmanipulated our\u00a0Claude Code\u00a0tool into attempting infiltration.\u201d <\/p>\n
While Anthropic has highlighted cases like this (indeed, a small group of customers has been given access to Mythos to identify and patch their vulnerabilities), the fact remains that cybercriminals\u2014either developing or deploying a range of models from around the globe\u2014are already succeeding with the help of AI. <\/p>\n
