OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google-parent Alphabet, Amazon and many more said that a wave of AI-powered cyber attacks is coming and that the world is not prepared.
Those hacks pose a risk to the “companies and public services our communities depend on .. from hospitals to water treatment plants to the infrastructure that powers the internet”, the open letter signed by more than 100 companies warned.
[And we haven't achieved (supposedly) Super Intelligent AI, or Quantum AI, or a 'singularity' event YET!]
“Cyber capabilities are advancing worldwide, and that can be a net positive: no single company should control the future,” the letter warned. “It also means a global response is necessary, requiring new partnerships to raise security standards and find new solutions to emerging cyber threats.”
"In the coming months, AI-enabled cyberattacks will become far more widespread as models around the world become increasingly capable," the letter said. It called on government and industry leaders "to bring the full weight of their technology, resources, and expertise to this effort."
"make cyber defense an immediate leadership priority."
In June, the world's "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance — composed of the US, Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand — issued a rare joint statement warning that the AI revolution was poised to "fundamentally transform" cybersecurity.
