Advanced artificial intelligence models are evolving rapidly enough that assumptions underpinning cybersecurity defenses may become outdated within months rather than years, according to a warning issued Monday by an alliance of intelligence and cybersecurity agencies from the United States, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

The joint advisory from the Five Eyes alliance urged governments and businesses to prepare for a changing threat landscape by modernizing systems, strengthening access controls and incorporating AI tools into their security operations.
