AI models that can take down governments and business months away, rare Five Eyes statement warns | AI (artificial intelligence)

The Five Eyes cyber intelligence agencies have issued a joint warning cautioning that highly advanced AI models capable of undermining governments and businesses are only months away.
The agencies highlight that these “frontier AI models” could accelerate the speed, scale, and sophistication of cyber threats, necessitating immediate action.
The statement was spurred by the Trump administration’s decision to block “foreign nationals” from using Anthropic’s AI model, Fable, due to security concerns.
Five Eyes agencies argue that cyber resilience has become crucial for business continuity, market confidence, and long-term value, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive, society-wide response to emerging AI threats.
The statement underscores the idea that cyber risks must be considered as core business risks and leadership responsibilities, rather than purely technical issues.
Although no specific AI models or companies were named, the warning draws particular attention to Anthropic’s advanced AI tools, Mythos and Fable 5, particularly the latter which was suspended from being used by foreign nationals.
Experts predict that advanced AI models are imminent and may be developed by other entities globally, including potentially China.
Australia’s national AI plan, signed with Anthropic, aims to promote safety and progress in AI technology with a minimal regulatory approach.
