OpenAI released a letter Thursday warning that within months, artifical intelligence (AI) models could become powerful enough to allow bad actors to launch increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks on hospitals, water treatment plants and other critical infrastructure.
More than 100 other companies across banking, tech and cybersecurity signed the letter, including Accenture, Anthropic, Capital One, Google, Microsoft and Visa.
Hugging Face, an open-source AI model repository whose systems were hacked into by an OpenAI agent in July, also signed the letter.
"Today’s AI advances are already giving defenders new ways to fix weaknesses that have accumulated for years. If we act decisively, we can use the defenders’ window to make our digital world much more secure," according to an excerpt of the letter.
