Cybersecurity Ventures estimated that cybercrime would cost the world $10.5 trillion in 2025. A 2026 report from the World Economic Forum warns that “AI is making the fight between cyber attackers and defenders move much faster.”
Recently, it has become clear that modern AI systems are very good at finding weaknesses in software and discovering ways to get past cybersecurity defenses.
During training exercises, AI models from leading companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic have caused real-world security breaches that were not intended. These incidents have raised serious concerns. Both companies have limited access to their most powerful models, but experts say it may only be a matter of time before less restricted AI systems gain similar abilities.
