According to Channel 14 Israel, Yossi Karadi, head of the National Cyber Directorate, stated at the Cyber Week conference that while the world is focused on preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, the country is developing cyber offensive capabilities using artificial intelligence. Karadi highlighted the difficulty of defending against AI-driven attacks, noting that attackers only need one model and one target, whereas defenders must protect multiple organizations simultaneously and around the clock against a wide range of offensive models. Referring to the concept of a 'cyber war of attrition,' he added that the strategic threat lies in the rate of attacks exceeding the rate of recovery, potentially leading to systemic collapse. Karadi also warned about the risks of machine control, posing a scenario where a cyberattack on millions of connected robots could simultaneously trigger dangerous actions worldwide.
