AI threats will get worse — 6 ways to match your digital adversaries

AI can clone a voice from as little as three seconds of audio and generate convincing images and video, and that speed and scale raise the stakes for individuals and organizations. In the hands of threat actors, small amounts of data and automated tooling can enable rapid, high-impact attacks; the only meaningful response is to match that tenacity.

Threat actors have moved beyond simple productivity uses of AI to experiments that enable operations: researchers have documented AI-assisted malware that can alter its behavior mid-execution and influence campaigns that automate social media actions. Deepfake tools are producing increasingly believable video and audio, and even static content has been used to deceive audiences and damage reputations.

Practical steps can reduce risk.
