Microsoft says malicious actors are currently ahead of defenders in the race to use artificial intelligence, according to a new assessment. The company warns that attackers are quicker to exploit AI tools for phishing, malware and reconnaissance, while defensive adoption lags behind. Security teams are now being urged to accelerate AI deployment before the gap widens further.
Why now: Microsoft's warning that cyberattackers are outpacing defenders in AI adoption raises fresh concerns about the security gap.
