AI, quantum computing and the future of cyber threats

The risks we used to talk about as far-off "what ifs" are here now. There have been real cases of advanced AI breaking out of the safe, walled-off environments where it's tested — finding weaknesses no one knew about, tricking real people, and getting out into the open internet. That kills the reassuring old line that "AI just makes attacks faster, not smarter." When something can launch thousands of attacks in minutes, fast is smart.
