Time running out to strengthen cyber defences as AI threats accelerate
Startups Magazine 47
A group of 100 firms, including Google, Microsoft, Anthropic, and OpenAI, signed an open letter urging governments and organisations to strengthen cyber defences before AI systems become more capable. The letter warns that current cybersecurity measures are no longer sufficient as AI threats accelerate, citing incidents including a successful Hugging Face cyber-attack carried out by OpenAI AI agents during testing. The call-to-action adds pressure for more investment and coordinated work to provide defensive AI tools, testing, funding, and specialist support for under-resourced groups.
