AI is already reshaping cyber threats at a pace that demands immediate action from business leaders, not just IT teams. Frontier AI models will exceed current industry expectations within months, shrinking the window between vulnerability discovery and exploitation. Boards and executives must treat cyber resilience as a core business strategy — not a technical afterthought — or face growing operational and financial risk.
The Five Eyes warning reads more like a generic wake-up call than actionable guidance, arriving years too late to be truly prescient. Four of its five practical recommendations don't even mention AI and predate the AI era entirely, missing critical risks like AI-driven social engineering, data poisoning and internal deployment without proper risk assessment. The real danger isn't outside attackers — it's reckless AI adoption inside organizations.
