Executive summary: AI systems pose a significant cybersecurity risk to critical infrastructure, potentially leading to catastrophic scenarios, but proactive measures can help mitigate these threats.
Key points:
AI models with hacking capabilities could enable devastating cyberattacks on critical infrastructure by terrorist groups or nation-states.
Current cybersecurity measures may be inadequate against AI-powered attacks, disrupting the existing balance of cyber deterrence.
Hardening critical infrastructure through decentralization, air-gapping, and stricter regulations can improve resilience against AI-enabled cyberattacks.
AI labs should implement rigorous testing for cybersecurity capabilities and protect models with demonstrated hacking abilities.
Legislators and regulators need to address AI cybersecurity risks through standards, enforcement, and public awareness initiatives.
While catastrophic scenarios are possible, there is likely time to prepare as AI-enabled cybercrime gradually increases.
