The US Air Force is accelerating its cyber defenses as frontier artificial intelligence models gain the ability to automate increasingly sophisticated stages of cyberattacks.
Lieutenant General Thomas Hensley, commander of the 16th Air Force (Air Forces Cyber), said advanced AI models can perform reconnaissance and develop exploits in minutes or seconds, tasks that once took experts months or even years.
Hensley said frontier AI is capable of executing an autonomous “F2T2EA” cycle against digital networks: find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess.
