The Financial Stability Board issued a letter expressing concern about the cybersecurity risks associated with cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The institution warned that this technology can alter both the speed and scale of digital attacks, representing a significant threat to global financial stability.

The letter was addressed to G20 finance ministers and central bankers, who are meeting in the United States of America during this period. The document comes in the context of growing international concern about how AI can be used for malicious purposes in cyberspace.

The Financial Stability Board is an international body responsible for monitoring and recommending measures related to the stability of the global financial system, which gives institutional weight to the warnings presented.
