Modern AI systems are, in effect, a universal adviser to help people do harmful things. We’ll need to harness AI for defense, too
Earlier this week, national security agencies from the Five Eyes – that’s the rich, English-language-speaking countries club – jointly released a statement warning of the increasing cyber risks of AI models: in particular, their ability to autonomously hack into systems and networks. The statement was more measured than some of the breathless headlines about it, and the advice they gave is pretty much the standard advice everyone gives – albeit with newfound urgency.
Internet risks are nothing new, and cyber-attacks – both large and small – have been a significant issue since long before the current crop of generative AI models.

Reading about the “revolutionary” nature of generative AI technology these days, it’s hard not to feel a little left out.
Sure, services like Google’s Gemini and its contemporaries can be useful in certain limited, specific areas for productivity purposes. But working with them can also be pretty disheartening and overwhelming — from prompt fatigue and an onslaught of AI workslop to the fear of lost jobs and even just the simple inconsistencies and inaccuracies these systems are so prone to providing. (And that’s to say nothing of the ever-increasing creepy factor that often accompanies this type of technology.)
More and more, it seems the most significant impact of these systems is in areas like coding, where AI is allowing ambitious tech-heads to create their own custom programs with limited to no programming knowledge (but a lot of time, vision, and patience) — as well as allowing accomplished coders to produce products more quickly by letting AI do the dirty work and then spending
