UK's top cybersecurity chief warns against AI threats

Richard Horne, chief executive of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, has warned that Britain should prepare for an increase in cyberattacks linked to hostile states. Speaking at the government's annual CYBERUK conference in Glasgow, Horne noted that the agency manages about four significant cyber incidents weekly, with many serious threats originating from nation states such as China, Iran, and Russia. He said: "Were we to be in, or near, a conflict situation, the UK would likely face hacktivist attacks at scale."

He said he didn't consider AI a national security threat at present, as new models were "not finding new attacks, they're just exposing more security vulnerabilities."

And cybersecurity's in the middle of them."
