Intelligence Agencies Urge Immediate Action Against Emerging Threats
The Five Eyes intelligence agencies have issued a joint statement warning of the growing threat of AI-borne cyber attacks, urging organisations to take immediate action to counter these emerging threats. The agencies note that AI accelerates attacks and lowers barriers for malicious actors, and that organisations must review and strengthen their identity and access controls to protect themselves. The warning comes as the US government has imposed export controls on AI vendor Anthropic’s latest large language model, and security experts have protested the decision, arguing that it disadvantages defenders.
