Artificial intelligence is creating opportunities across nearly every industry.
It is also changing the economics of cybercrime.
The Financial Stability Board, an international body focused on the global financial system, has identified AI-driven cyber risk as an increasingly serious threat to financial stability.
The concern is that advanced AI systems could allow cyberattacks to happen at greater scale, speed, and lower cost than before.
Banks, markets, and payment infrastructure also increasingly rely on a relatively small number of large technology companies, creating another potential vulnerability if critical systems fail or are compromised.
AI has largely been discussed as a race toward more powerful models.
The next question may be whether security systems can evolve just as quickly.
