GTIG AI Threat Tracker: Advances in Threat Actor Usage of AI Tools cloud.google.com/blog/topi…
Based on recent analysis of the broader threat landscape, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a shift that occurred within the last year: adversaries are no longer leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) just for productivity gains, they are deploying novel AI-enabled malware in active operations. This marks a new operational phase of AI abuse, involving tools that dynamically alter behavior mid-execution.
This report serves as an update to our January 2025 analysis, “Adversarial Misuse of Generative AI,” and details how government-backed threat actors and cyber criminals are integrating and experimenting with AI across the industry throughout the entire attack lifecycle. Our findings are based on the broader threat landscape.
