Frontier AI models have already demonstrated they can autonomously — and in some cases, inadvertently — conduct end-to-end compromises, but the situation will become more urgent very soon.

Editorial Analysis

Framed for the Security Researcher desk

Why it matters

The convergence of frontier model capability and autonomous attack tooling defines a new research frontier in adversarial AI and automated defence.

What to do

Establish a research workstream on AI-vs-AI defence scenarios and contribute findings to EU threat-modelling frameworks.

Board brief

AI-driven cyberattacks capable of running fully autonomously are expected within months, demanding accelerated investment in automated defence.
