AI increases the risk of cyberattacks
According to the World Economic Forum, cyberattacks pose the fifth biggest risk worldwide in 2024. AI is a key driver of this development, as criminals turn increasingly to generative AI tools for social engineering or phishing attacks. And these are “only” the current risks. Recently, a quantum computer was integrated into a supercomputer in Munich for the first time – the resulting hybrid computer and its successor models will pose completely new challenges for cybersecurity, since they could easily decipher known encryption methods.
