AI ATTACK: Robots pose a threat to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) that could rival the COVID-19 pandemic, warns cybersecurity expert Ian Hogarth. The AI task force, which Hogarth is a part of, has received £100 million ($124 million) in government funding. Hogarth highlights the rapid improvement of AI technology, stating that it could lower barriers for cyber attacks and even potential “biological attacks.” He emphasizes the importance of international collaboration in mitigating the risks of AI, including countries like China. The tech industry’s focus on AI has led to both improvements and dangers, as seen in the WannaCry cyberattack on the NHS in 2017. Hogarth urges caution as AI systems become more advanced, making cyberattacks easier to carry out.
