(TNND) \u2014 <\/span>A new alert from the “Five Eyes” intelligence-sharing alliance, including the U.S., warns governments, businesses and other organizations about fast-moving, supercharged cybersecurity threats driven by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The alert also urges organizations to fight fire with fire, deploying AI to fight off cyberattacks.<\/p>\n

The alliance, which includes Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K., said governments and businesses must act swiftly to stay ahead of the AI threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrontier AI models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities,\u201d the joint statement released Monday reads. \u201cThe timeline is not years, it is months.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity expert Demetrice Rogers, who teaches at Tulane University, said the \u201cFive Eyes\u201d statement wasn\u2019t breaking news. Security experts are already aware of the threats laid out by the agencies. But Rogers said it\u2019s a valuable reminder that AI amplifies existing cybersecurity risks.<\/p>\n

C. Jordan Howell, a criminologist and cybersecurity expert who teaches at the University of South Florida, similarly said that security professionals have been discussing AI-enabled cyber threats for some time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is different is that the threat is becoming more operational, more scalable, and harder for non-specialists to fully understand,\u201d Howell said via email.<\/p>\n

Both Rogers and Howell said AI isn\u2019t creating new categories of cyber threats. Rather, the powerful new technology is arming bad actors with more efficient and believable attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhishing messages become more polished. Social engineering becomes more personalized. Malware development and vulnerability discovery can become faster. Fraud attempts can be adapted to specific victims with less effort,\u201d Howell said. \u201cIn that sense, AI lowers the barrier to entry for less sophisticated offenders while also giving more capable actors a force multiplier.\u201d<\/p>\n
