More than 100 technology companies issue a call for a “defensive surge” to prepare for AI-driven cyberattacks. The companies warn that attacks are likely to increase as AI models become more capable and are used by adversaries.
In a letter highlighted by multiple outlets, the firms say AI-enabled cyber threats will become more widespread in the coming months. They frame the risk as a shift in how attackers can plan, scale, and carry out malicious activity using AI tooling. Reporting also indicates the companies are urging action to strengthen cybersecurity readiness, though the specific measures emphasized vary in coverage.
Some outlets focus on the scale of participation—highlighting the number of companies signing—while others stress the forward-looking assessment of accelerating threats. Across reports, the central message remains consistent: organizations should increase defensive efforts to mitigate potential impacts from AI-enabled hacking.
