Military AI Cyber Agents (MAICAs) Constitute a Global Threat to Critical Infrastructure (2506.12094v1)
Published 12 Jun 2025 in cs.CY and cs.AI
Abstract: This paper argues that autonomous AI cyber-weapons - Military-AI Cyber Agents (MAICAs) - create a credible pathway to catastrophic risk. It sets out the technical feasibility of MAICAs, explains why geopolitics and the nature of cyberspace make MAICAs a catastrophic risk, and proposes political, defensive-AI and analogue-resilience measures to blunt the threat.
