Artificial intelligence and cyber threats have converged into a top security concern, with AI-powered malware that adapts and evades traditional defences undermining 'Zero Trust' protocols. The World Economic Forum warns AI will both strengthen defences and enable automated attacks. Experts cite Anthropic's Mythos system, which can spot zero-day vulnerabilities, and warfare uses in Ukraine and Iran as signs that existing cybersecurity rules must be rewritten.
