Five Western Countries Warn Advanced AI Could Become Global Cyber Threat Within Months
——————————-
Cybersecurity intelligence agencies from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have warned that highly advanced artificial intelligence models capable of creating large-scale threats to governments and companies could emerge within months, urging governments to act urgently.

According to The Guardian, the joint warning was issued by cybersecurity agencies from the five countries. The statement said that while artificial intelligence can strengthen cyber defense, it also significantly increases the speed, scale, and complexity of cyberattacks.

The agencies warned that the next generation of AI models could exceed current industry expectations and fundamentally transform offensive and defensive cyber operations, not in the coming years, but within months.

They said the development could give malicious actors easier access to advanced tools, making cyberattacks faster, more widespread, and more sophisticated. The agencies stressed that confronting the threat requires a comprehensive response from governments, companies, and society.

The warning also emphasized that cybersecurity is no longer only a technical issue, but a major risk to business continuity, market confidence, and economic stability.
