A group of 100 firms, including Google, Microsoft, Anthropic and OpenAI, have signed an open letter calling on countries and organizations around the world to beef up their cyber defenses before AI grows powerful enough to override them, the BBC<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The letter warns cyber-attacks which use AI will become both more widespread and more sophisticated in a matter of months as the technology rapidly improves.<\/p>\n

The group says current “status quo” security measures “won’t be enough” and criticizes the “historic under-resourcing” of security around critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“We have a limited window to improve cyber defenses,” the letter begins.<\/p>\n

Other firms to have signed the letter include banks such as Capital One, payment processors MasterCard and Visa, and other major tech firms including Adobe, Oracle and IBM.<\/p>\n

They call on governments to provide “capable, defensive AI” and testing to hospitals and water utilities, and on technology companies to aid such efforts.<\/p>\n

The letter comes after a string of significant hacking and cybersecurity breaches have been made public.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
