John Battersby: Massey University Defence and Security expert on the Five Eyes Alliance warning of cyber attacks

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

A security expert is a bit puzzled by a call to action from Five Eyes spy agencies.  In a rare joint statement, the international agencies are warning Governments and businesses to act swiftly against the imminent threat of cyber attacks helped by AI.  Senior Massey University Defence and Security Centre Fellow, John Battersby, says he's concerned about artificial intelligence. But he says although the warning's alarming, it's also undefined. "But it didn't really tell us too much about what we need to do in addition to what we're already doing."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
