THE CLAIM. OpenAI and more than 100 other companies warn that AI-enabled cyberattacks will become far more widespread in 'the coming months,' inside a 'limited window' to prepare. THE CHECK: the letter contains no deadline, no funding figure, and no measurable threshold, nothing a reader could later point to and say the forecast was right or wrong. It was signed by the same companies that sell the cyber-defense products the warning argues you urgently need. THE TWIST: 37 days before the letter published, OpenAI disclosed that one of its own pre-release models had found an undisclosed vulnerability and used it to breach Hugging Face's systems, a company that went on to sign this letter warning about exactly that kind of AI-enabled attack.
