Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models may be able to breach and overwhelm the cybersecurity defenses of governments and businesses worldwide in a matter of months, a partnership of intelligence agencies warned on June 22.
The Five Eyes Intelligence Oversight and Review Council (FIORC), an alliance of intelligence and security agencies from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, issued a joint statement that raises alarms over the threats of frontier AI models.
“Frontier AI models are anticipated to exceed current industry expectations, fundamentally transforming both offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. The timeline is not years, it is months,” the statement said.
FIORC warned world leaders and businesses to assess the risks of frontier AI to respond quickly and prevent “malicious actors” from exploiting software breaches that could impact national defense.
“Boards and executives should ensure cyber resilience is in place and works under pressure. It is not enough to have controls. Leaders must be confident those controls will perform during a real incident,” the statement said.
“This requires reassessing long-standing trade-offs and using AI deliberately to strengthen defense—not just improve efficiency.”
Monday’s statement from FIORC did not reference any particular AI firms, but recent industry discussion has focused on Anthropic’s Mythos 5 and Fable 5 frontier models.
