Major tech companies call for defensive surge to defeat AI-driven hacks

Major tech companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft , Alphabet , and Amazon  are calling for a ​society-wide defensive surge to defeat what they describe ‌as an impending wave of hacks driven by artificial intelligence. In a joint letter issued Thursday, the companies -- along with more ​than 100 others including Broadcom , Capital One , Cloudflare , ​CrowdStrike , General Motors , IBM , Mastercard , Oracle , Robinhood , Shopify , ⁠and Visa  -- said there was a limited amount of ​time "to make our digital world much more secure" ahead ​of the AI onslaught. "In the coming months, AI-enabled cyberattacks will become far more widespread as models around the world become increasingly capable," ​the letter said. It called on government and ​industry leaders "to bring the full weight of their technology, resources, and ‌expertise ⁠to this effort."

In June, the world's "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance -- composed of the ⁠US, ​Britain, Canada, Australia, and New ​Zealand -- issued a rare joint statement warning that the AI revolution was poised ​to "fundamentally transform" cybersecurity.
