WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) – Cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology is poised to supercharge offensive hacking capabilities \u200cand urgent action is needed to face up \u200cto the threat, U.S., British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand officials said on \u200bMonday.<\/p>\n

The intelligence alliance commonly known as the “Five Eyes” said in a three-page statement that, “Frontier AI models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber \u200ccapabilities. The timeline \u2060is not years, it is months.”<\/p>\n

The statement was light on details and mostly restated core cybersecurity \u2060advice, such as swiftly patching faulty software and not putting systems online unless necessary. The officials also urged defenders to \u200buse AI “to \u200bstrengthen defence,” for example \u200bby identifying weaknesses sooner or \u200cresponding more quickly to incidents.<\/p>\n

The warning was another indication of officials’ increasing concerns over models such as Anthropic’s “Mythos” or OpenAI’s “GPT-5.5-Cyber,” which are said to allow users to quickly execute complex \u2014 and potentially devastating \u2014 hacks.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Anthropic was forced \u200cto disable a version of \u200bMythos after the U.S. government ordered \u200bit to suspend access \u200bto the models for foreign nationals over \u200calleged national security concerns. Around the \u200bsame time, \u200bthe U.S. cyber defense agency CISA \u2014 which was among those cosigning Monday’s statement \u2014 reduced the deadlines imposed on government \u200bofficials to deal \u200cwith serious digital vulnerabilities in their networks to three \u200bdays, citing AI threats.<\/p>\n
