Experts in national security and AI frontier labs are reportedly concerned about the rapid advancement of AI in cybersecurity. There's a prediction that the proliferation of capable open-source models could lead to significant disruptive cyberattacks from various actors, including disaffected individuals and terrorist groups.
“Yeah, and I don't think it's sharing too much to say like people in the national security space and the frontier labs are really concerned about where cyber is going and this view that, you know, we're in the volcaalypse right now, right?”
“Assume we're going to get Mythos class open source models sometime in the next six months maybe a bit less. At that point, you're going to need an answer.”
“As a side, I'll just like casually drop the prediction here that we may see some pretty significant disruptive cyber attacks at massive scale, not even just nation state or their proxies, but literally just like disaffected young people or terrorists groups or whatever.”
