Cybersecurity Experts Sound Alarm on AI-Driven Attacks

Experts are sounding the alarm on AI-powered cyber threats, warning that the technology can multiply the number and speed of attacks. The use of publicly available AI tools, such as Anthropic’s Claude Code, has been shown to be effective in conducting cyber attacks autonomously, with minimal human oversight. However, the experts agree that AI-powered attacks are not yet a silver bullet, and that human involvement is still necessary to prevent catastrophic failures. The US government and private sector must invest in agentic AI defenses to counter these threats, according to experts.
