Hacking the atmosphere: Geoengineering gets a reality check - MIT Technology Review

Researchers disclosed 98 flaws across phones, printers and AI tools, underscoring how quickly the attack surface is widening for businesses.

One of Australia’s top intelligence agencies has warned that AI attacks could exploit the country’s old technology, as the government negotiates its guardrails on artificial intelligence’s rapid development. The chief of Anthropic, developer of Claude, has warned AI bots could swarm the internet within a year and called to “slow the pace” of development with support from the head of OpenAI and Elon Musk. Abigail Bradshaw, the director general of the Australian Signals Directorate, said her agency did not know how many AI agents were active on the internet. “I think that prospect of getting some sort of definition or calculation of how these agents are out there is really remote,” Bradshaw said while speaking to the Sydney Dialogue summit in Canberra on Monday. “And I would just say: a lot.”She said Australian governments and businesses would have to spend “enormous” amounts to update their vulnerable outdated technology, taking offline systems that Australians had come to expect would be available all the time.
