Open AI models are catching up fast

Public AI models are getting better at cyber tasks at a surprising speed. Research from the British AI Security Institute shows that these models now trail the best paid tools by only a few months. Early last year the gap was much wider.

The cost to run these powerful public tools is also dropping quickly. This makes high-level AI capabilities available to far more people than before. It means that advanced tools are no longer limited to only a few large companies.

Safety features on these public models are still not very effective. This leaves those who defend digital systems with very little time to prepare. The rapid pace of this technology is creating new risks for online security.
