Why's our monitor labelling this an incident or hazard?

The article centers on the potential risks and necessary responses related to AI in cybersecurity, emphasizing plausible future harms from AI-enabled cyber attacks and the defensive role of AI. No actual harm or incident is reported, only expert calls for measures to mitigate risks. Therefore, this qualifies as an AI Hazard, as it describes circumstances where AI systems could plausibly lead to harm (cyber attacks on citizens and critical infrastructure) if not properly managed.[AI generated]
