Recent advances in frontier artificial intelligence (AI) models have sparked intense interest in their potential to transform cyber offense and defense alike. How capable are today's AI systems at cyber-relevant tasks? Which emerging capabilities matter most? And as these systems continue to advance, what should defenders, policymakers, and industry do to prepare?

On November 10 CNAS hosted an expert panel to discuss these questions and more. This event builds upon the new CNAS report Tipping the Scales: Emerging AI Capabilities and the Cyber Offense-Defense Balance, in which Caleb Withers analyzes the present impact of AI on cyber defense and offense and projects how future frontier AI capabilities could shape the offense-defense balance.
