The Five Eyes intelligence alliance warned that the most advanced artificial intelligence models are improving quickly enough to outsmart prevailing cybersecurity capabilities within months. A joint statement dated Monday said the rapid pace of frontier AI development means cyber risk assumptions can become outdated in months, not years.
The advisory added that AI lowers barriers for malicious actors and increases the speed and complexity of attacks. The agencies of Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand called on governments and businesses to prepare as AI evolves.
They stated that breaches will occur and that preparedness helps contain them quickly and prevent escalation into major operational and financial crises.
Recommended defensive steps Organizations should integrate AI tools into security operations, update old systems, and limit access to critical systems, the statement said. The warning follows an April announcement by startup Anthropic that its Mythos models demonstrated unprecedented abilities to find software vulnerabilities.
This month Anthropic suspended access to Mythos 5 and a restricted version called Fable 5 after receiving a U.S. national security order barring foreign nationals from using the models.
