AI models capable of launching major cyberattacks that could overwhelm the defences of governments and businesses are months \u2013 not years \u2013 away, an international alliance of intelligence agencies warned in a joint statement.<\/p>\n

The Five Eyes grouping, comprising the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, urged governments and corporate leaders to \u201cact now\u201d to improve their defences against sophisticated cyber threats.<\/p>\n

The rare call to action comes after the Trump administration ordered AI giant Anthropic to suspend use of its most advanced models by foreign nationals, and highlights the growing unease among western nations about the emerging capabilities of the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrontier Al models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. The timeline is not years, it is months,\u201d the group of spy agencies said in the statement on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming cyber risk, and we must act swiftly to remain ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI researchers and executives have expressed various safety concerns over the advancing technology, which the Five Eyes leaders described as being able to lower \u201cbarriers for malicious actors and increases the speed and complexity of attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI experts said the message is \u201creally stark\u201d and could have worrying implications, not just for governments and corporations, but for small and medium businesses around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat it was saying is that in an age of AI, breaches will occur. It\u2019s not a matter of if, but when, so it\u2019s important to get prepared now,\u201d Olivia Shen, director of the Strategic Technologies Program with the United States Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, told CNN.<\/p>\n

The U.S. administration\u2019s broad directive against Anthropic\u2019s Mythos 5 and Fable 5 models was one of the furthest-reaching actions a government has taken in response to…<\/p>\n
