Disrupting malicious uses of AI | February 2026
Our latest threat report examines how malicious actors combine AI models with websites and social platforms—and what it means for detection and defense.
Preparing for malicious uses of AI
We’ve co-authored a paper that forecasts how malicious actors could misuse AI technology, and potential ways we can prevent and mitigate these threats. This paper is the outcome of almost a year of sustained work with our colleagues at the Future of Humanity Institute, the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, the Center for a New American Security, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and others.
