Emerging AI tactics in use by threat actors

At an exclusive threat intelligence meeting in May, three Microsoft Threat Intelligence experts discussed how AI is already a significant factor in today's cyber threats, rather than just a future concern.

State-sponsored threat actor groups from Russia and China are utilizing AI in disinformation campaigns. Although tactics are still developing, they are expected to become more sophisticated over time.

While full-blown AI-driven attacks haven't been observed yet, the experts agree it's only a matter of time before AI becomes a weapon in cyber operations. This underscores the urgent need for vigilance and robust cybersecurity measures.
