AI and Cyber Threats in India: Emerging Challenges to Digital Security

The convergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cyber warfare is transforming the nature of cyber threats against India. Frontier Large Language Models (LLMs), machine-learning systems and autonomous AI agents can automate reconnaissance, phishing, malware generation and vulnerability discovery, enabling attacks at unprecedented speed and scale.

What is the AI-Cyber Threat Convergence?

From Human-Speed to Machine-Speed Warfare

• The weaponisation of AI across the cyber kill chain allows attackers to automate activities that traditionally required significant human expertise.
• AI can identify targets, generate malicious code, adapt attacks and coordinate multiple stages of an operation with limited human intervention.
