This doesn't mean autonomous AI attacks are overhyped. And we should point out that the models tested don't include OpenAI's soon-to-be-released Astra, which OpenAI on Tuesday said reached its "critical" cybersecurity capability threshold. This means the new model is so good at finding and exploiting zero-day bugs that it poses a significant risk to critical systems, both from malicious users and even from the model itself, which is capable of carrying out harmful cyber actions "if misaligned." Booz Allen asserts that most of the other 17 US and Chinese models it tested will achieve Mythos' same level of weaponization within six months, and it calls mainstream AI attacks from both financially motivated criminals like ransomware gangs and government-backed goons "imminent." In its first-ever Cyber Weapon Index , the consulting and tech firm calls on the US to set and enforce sector-specific deadlines for critical infrastructure to demonstrate resilience against AI-enabled attacks . Booz Allen also calls on the US to develop what it calls "overmatch" for both cyber offense and defense...
