A leading cybersecurity expert is warning that hostile entities could leverage artificial intelligence to instruct individuals on constructing a 'dirty bomb'. AI's capacity to generate convincing deepfakes and malware is escalating, potentially leading to uncontrollable cyber viruses and manipulation of public opinion. AI systems could infiltrate and disable corporate AI infrastructure, causing catastrophic disruption.
AI-driven cyber threats are rapidly evolving, potentially reaching a level of danger akin to a 'nuclear bomb' with profound implications. The ability of AI to automate hacking processes, analyse big data, and mimic human actions increases the complexity and potential damage of cyber attacks.
Organisations are adopting AI without fully understanding the permissions models, and that means data can be exposed unintentionally to employees, other users, and even externally. It is crucial for organisations to prioritise data protection and implement effective security measures.
