AI's imminent hacking threat is hiding in plain sight
TL;DR
An unprecedented wave of AI-powered, human-driven cyberattacks is coming, security experts say — and it's a far more urgent risk than theoretical conversations about AI wiping out humanity. Why it matters: The great September AI panic — which spread from boardrooms to Congress to American households in the last week — may have missed the point.
Nauti's Take
AI-assisted attacks can scale because the human bottleneck disappears. That is a more concrete risk than doomsday scenarios and deserves more attention.
The upside: the same models help defenders find and close gaps faster. Anyone running critical infrastructure should shorten patch cycles now and put AI to work on their own security.
