By 2027, artificial intelligence tools will significantly increase the ability of malicious actors to find and exploit vulnerabilities in our systems, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has warned.
The NCSC, which is the UK’s technical authority for cyber security and part of the GCHQ intelligence agency, said in its report published on Wednesday that AI will “almost certainly” continue to make cyber intrusion more effective and efficient, “leading to an increase in frequency and intensity of cyber threats.”
