A joint study from Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan (CAMS) and Safe Security has looked at 2,800 #ransomware incidents and found that a staggering 80.83%—more than 2,272 attacks—were powered by #artificialintelligence. This statistic isn't theoretical; it's based on comprehensive, real-world data collected during 2023–2024. The Rethinking the Cybersecurity Arms Race working paper paints a vivid picture of how AI is transforming attack methods. Adversaries are no longer relying on manual orchestration. Instead, they are deploying agentic AI systems that can autonomously execute and adapt ransomware campaigns—from reconnaissance through to extortion.
