“Frontier AI models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities,” the intelligence alliance commonly known as the Five Eyes said in a three-page statement on Monday.“The timeline is not years, it is months.”
The statement was light on detail and mostly restated core cybersecurity advice, such as swiftly patching faulty software and not putting systems online unless necessary. The officials also urged defenders to use AI “to strengthen defence”, for example by identifying weaknesses sooner or responding more quickly to incidents.
