  "account": "AI researchers are prepping for potential AI-powered cyberattacks that could cripple infrastructure vital to modern life, as the technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous among coders. Andreas Stuhlmüller, CEO of Elicit, suggested stockpiling cash, a Starlink terminal for internet access, a backup power system, and provisions for months in a tweet. Although the cyberattack on grocery store refrigeration units in France hasn't been linked to AI, the technology's capability to identify vulnerabilities and its use in recent high-profile cases highlight the growing threat AI poses to cybersecurity systems. This indicates that the possibility of AI models or humans using them taking down critical infrastructure is a concern worth preparing for.",
