A report by CERT-FR highlights the dual role of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity. While AI systems are increasingly used by attackers to enhance cyber operations—such as victim profiling, social engineering, and malware development—they also face targeted attacks. Advanced actors leverage AI for efficiency, while less experienced ones use it for learning. No generative AI system has demonstrated autonomy in executing full cyberattacks. Additionally, AI models are vulnerable to threats like model poisoning, software supply chain compromise, and data exfiltration. The report underscores attackers’ adaptability to new digital tools in professional contexts. Document reference: CERTFR-2026-CTI-001, dated February 4, 2026.
