Record summary
A quick snapshot of what this page covers.
Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"As the programming abilities of AI systems continue to expand, frontier AI is likely to significantly exacerbate existing cyber risks. Most notably, AI systems can be used by potentially anyone to create faster paced, more effective and larger scale cyber intrusion via tailored phishing methods or replicating malware. Frontier AI’s effect on the overall balance between cyber offence and defence is uncertain, as these tools also have many applications in improving the cybersecurity of systems and defenders are mobilising significant resources to utilise frontier AI for defensive purposes.209 In the future, we may see AI systems both conducting and defending against cyberattacks with reduced human oversight at each step."
