A coalition including OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft called for expanded government action to counter AI-powered cyberattacks. The group outlined risks from adversarial use of AI tools, including automated phishing, deepfake disinformation, and AI-enhanced malware. Their joint statement emphasized the need for coordinated international policies to mitigate these threats.
The companies proposed measures such as mandatory reporting of AI-related security incidents and stricter controls on high-risk AI applications. They also stressed the importance of public-private partnerships to develop technical safeguards and share threat intelligence. The call comes amid rising concerns over AI’s dual-use potential in cybercrime.
The coalition plans to present its recommendations at an upcoming security summit. Policymakers are urged to act before AI-driven attacks escalate further, with experts warning of a widening gap between defensive capabilities and evolving threats.
