New AI technology can make hacking easier, and cybersecurity agencies from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are warning about the threat. They say urgent action is needed. The agencies are concerned about the impact of AI on cybersecurity.

The agencies said in a statement that new AI models will change cybersecurity in a big way. They expect this to happen soon, not in years, but in months. These new models will be much more powerful than what we have now.

The statement was signed by officials including Rajiv Gupta, who leads Canada's cybersecurity agency.

Canada's cybersecurity agency recently described these new AI models as very advanced and becoming more accessible, which is a concern for cybersecurity.

A cybersecurity expert says the difference between these new AI models and older ones is significant.

A cybersecurity expert compared these new AI models to a big library with a lot of information. He said they are much more powerful than smaller libraries. The expert is from Cincinnati, Ohio. He explained the difference in an interview.

The expert said you can find much more information in a big library like the US Library of Congress.

The statement from the cybersecurity agencies did not have many details, but it reminded people to follow basic cybersecurity advice.

The agencies also suggested using AI to improve defense against hacking.

The warning is another sign that officials are worried about new AI models that can be used for hacking. These models can make complex hacks easier and faster.

Recently, a company had to disable one of its AI models after the US government raised security concerns.

Around the same time, a US cybersecurity agency reduced the time officials have to fix serious digital vulnerabilities to three days, citing the threat from AI.
