Menin pushes Dixon on unchanged cyber protocols
Menin expresses concern about Dixon's statement that protocols haven't changed given rapidly escalating AI. Dixon clarifies AI cyber attacks exploit the same software vulnerabilities but the city must react faster, with constant evolution.
I guess I'm just concerned by the statement that nothing has changed in your protocols given that we're now dealing with a rapidly escalating technology that as we certainly heard today and we've been hearing now for
couple weeks to months that there are serious safety concerns.
So I just want to get an answer in terms of what proactive steps is cybersecurity taking to meet with some of these frontier companies and ensure that our systems are safe.
Acknowledged.
And it does not mean that we have not changed our protocols.
Some of the risks inherent with artificial intelligence are unrelated to cybersecurity.
In those situations where an AI model presents a cybersecurity risk, those AI models will still exploit the exact same software vulnerabilities that are inherent in computer technology as they've always been.
So our protocols have not had to change to address the fundamental issues inherent in computer technology, only the speed by which we must react in a cyber attack.
