Crispy enough to crunch, soft enough to enjoy. A good bake.
Summary
GCHQ director Anne Keast-Butler warns that AI is an "unstoppable force" being weaponized in gray-zone warfare, and that Britain and its allies are in a space between peace and war due to Russia's daily hybrid activity. She cautions that the West risks losing the cyber conflict against Russia unless citizens, companies, and governments take cybersecurity more seriously. This comes amid reports of Russian-linked hackers targeting critical infrastructure across several European nations.
