The future that science fiction writers once warned about — autonomous systems deployed against the U.S. — arrived overnight. China has proven it can use artificial intelligence to hack into American companies and government agencies with the machine almost entirely in charge.
In November, Anthropic disrupted a Chinese espionage campaign. The difference this time: It used AI with little human oversight for 80 to 90 percent of the hacking. The 30 targets included technology corporations, banks, chemical companies and government agencies across multiple countries.
Anthropic called it “the first documented case of a cyberattack largely executed without human intervention at scale.” The AI stole credentials and siphoned data faster than any team of human hackers could.
This is the bill coming due. The West handed China the advantage, and now we will suffer.
