OpenAI, Meta and Anthropic said last week that their AI models went rogue during routine security testing, and all three traced the incidents to the same Israeli startup, Irregular. Publicly reported AI-related incidents rose 50% year over year from 2022 to 2024, while Blackpanda said incident response cases increased across the Asia-Pacific region in the first half of 2026. Gene Yu of Blackpanda said the same capabilities that help AI identify hacks also let it exploit vulnerabilities and gaps.

Companies are increasing cybersecurity spending as AI-enabled phishing is reported to be five times more effective than attempts by humans, according to CNBC. Gartner estimates information security spending will rise 12.5% in 2026 to $240 billion, with finance and healthcare among sectors expected to face sharper cybersecurity spending pressure.

The European Union said OpenAI and Anthropic informed the European Commission about the attacks before public disclosure. The EU's AI Act will take effect in two days and will require providers of general-purpose AI to prepare technical documentation, implement copyright compliance policies and publish detailed summaries of training data.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon founded the Alliance for Critical Infrastructure in July to study how AI is being used, what risks it poses and what safeguards are needed. Sources told Reuters that Dimon contacted CEOs of regional banks and IT companies and that the initiative will work with the Trump administration. The US government also launched the Gold Eagle initiative in July to connect AI developers, infrastructure operators and federal agencies on vulnerability information and fixes discovered by AI models.
