INTERPOL warns AI is speeding up cyber threats and adding agentic AI risks for companies

An INTERPOL executive has warned that artificial intelligence is making existing cyber threats faster and harder to detect, while also creating new risks for businesses through the rise of agentic AI. According to the executive, AI-powered attacks can automate complex tasks and quickly adjust to defensive measures, raising the pressure on corporate security teams. The warning also pointed to the autonomy of agentic AI as a source of less predictable security challenges. In addition, companies were urged to strengthen their ability to monitor and defend against AI-generated content, deepfakes, and automated attacks. CNBC was cited as the source of the report.
