When AI Turns Against the Machine: The Emerging Threat of LLMs Targeting AI Infrastructure

AI Summary

The rapid adoption of large language models and autonomous AI systems in defense and critical infrastructure environments has introduced new cybersecurity risks. This article discusses how AI systems themselves could be targeted by other AI-driven attacks, highlighting vulnerabilities in current cybersecurity frameworks.

Abstract The rapid integration of large language models and autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) systems into defense, critical infrastructure, and enterprise environments has created a fundamentally new attack surface—one that existing cybersecurity frameworks were not designed to address. This article examines the emerging threat of AI systems being leveraged to target AI infrastructure itself, with particular focus on four documented attack … Read more The post When AI Turns Against the Machine: The Emerging Threat of LLMs Targeting AI Infrastructure appeared first on Small Wars Journal by Arizona State University.
