The AI Cold War Is Already Here
Chinese state-sponsored hackers just weaponized Claude to attack 30 organizations. Most of the breaches failed. That’s actually the scariest part. Anthropic’s disclosure about the autonomous cyberattack campaign isn’t a wake-up call. It’s confirmation of something we’ve been avoiding saying out loud: we’re already in an AI cold war.
