AI is described as an unstoppable force with both opportunity and risk, increasingly used in ways that sit just below traditional warfare. Russia is accused of daily hybrid activity against the U.K. and Europe, spanning from the seabed to cyberspace. The warning emphasizes that the West could lose in cyberspace unless citizens, companies, and governments treat cybersecurity with much greater urgency. Russia is said to target critical infrastructure, democratic processes, supply chains, and public trust, while also stealing technology and plotting sabotage and assassination attempts. Protecting data and energy flowing through critical cables and pipelines in and around British waters is highlighted as a key focus, using efforts to expose intent, motive, and underwater capabilities.
"“Tech companies are releasing AI-driven innovations at a remarkable pace, with untold consequences, as algorithms are weaponized often just below the threshold of traditional warfare. AI is an unstoppable force with great opportunity,” she added. “But it is also a force with risks.”"
"“Russia is scaling up its daily hybrid activity against the U.K. and Europe, stretching from the seabed to cyberspace,” she told an audience of computing experts, diplomats, journalists and senior officials."
"“One area in sharp focus for us is protecting the data and energy flowing through the critical cables and pipelines in and around British waters,” she added. “We do this by exposing Russia's intent, motive and underwater capabilities.”"
"“I've spent three decades working in national security, and the risk of miscalculation is as high as I've ever seen it,” Keast-Butler said in a speech at a World War II code-breaking center near London."
