Nick Leiserson, President of the Center for Advancing Cybersecurity at the Institute for Security and Technology, argues that artificial intelligence is making cyberattacks easier to launch, straining the fragile digital foundations of critical infrastructure. Writing for Nexus, he examines whether energy, water and other essential systems are prepared for a wider range of attackers now armed with AI tools, and what defenses are needed.
Why now: Concern is growing that AI tools are enabling more actors to attack essential services, prompting debate about readiness.
