Cybersecurity experts warn of active AI-powered attacks on critical infrastructure

AI cyberattacks critical infrastructure cybersecurity threats AI business adoption agentic AI

Cybersecurity experts and major corporations are warning that AI-powered cyberattacks against critical infrastructure are no longer theoretical but are already occurring. Gil Messing of Check Point noted that AI models from providers like OpenAI and Anthropic have lowered the barrier to entry, allowing individuals with minimal knowledge to launch sophisticated attacks that were previously the domain of nation-states or large corporations. More than 100 companies have signaled that current cybersecurity approaches are insufficient to meet these emerging threats.

In the business sector, AI adoption is accelerating. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, nearly 20% of U.S. businesses reported using AI in early May, with the information sector leading at 39.7%. While adoption is rising, experts emphasize the need for human oversight, ethical governance, and high-quality data. The rise of agentic AI—autonomous systems capable of multi-step reasoning—is expected to disrupt traditional operating models and job descriptions, necessitating continuous workforce reskilling and new management frameworks.
