In an open letter released on Thursday, more than 100 technology and financial services institutions, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft, called on various organizations and governments to make cyber defense “the top priority of the leadership” and fix existing security weaknesses in the software. The open letter also asked cybersecurity companies to help defend against “AI-driven attacks,” and urged leading AI companies to provide AI usage rights, financial support, and training to critical infrastructure defenders. Artificial intelligence companies warn that as AI model capabilities continue to improve, businesses and governments must take more steps to prepare for and strengthen defenses against AI-driven cyber intrusions. Recently, there have been many cybersecurity incidents involving advanced AI models, including the OpenAI model accidentally hacking into HuggingFace in July of this year, raising concerns that AI agents are out of control. The co-signers anticipate that in the next few months, AI will be used to carry out more numerous and more complex cyber intrusions.
