AI Rise Will Lead To Increase In Cyberattacks
The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is increasing cyberattacks and lowering the entry barrier for less sophisticated hackers, according to Britain’s GCHQ spy agency. This is likely to contribute to the global rise in ransomware attacks, where criminals encrypt computer systems for a digital ransom.
The National Cyber Security Centre warns that AI will increase the volume and impact of cyberattacks over the next two years. The biggest increase in capability will go to opportunistic hackers who do not necessarily possess the skills needed for higher-level attacks. State-backed hackers are best placed to harness AI’s potential in advanced cyber operations against networks, such as malware generation.
