Why is digital isolation dangerous in the age of artificial intelligence? The strategic error of turning off the Internet in crises Sadegh Nakhjavani; Expert and activist in the field of information technology with the introduction of artificial intelligence, the speed of discovering security holes and software vulnerabilities increased greatly, and the time between the discovery of a bug and a cyber attack reached several hours. In such a situation, the "internet blocking in crisis and war" program as a security solution has the opposite function. The experience of previous periods of internet outages shows that this decision not only does not create a security shield, but also makes the country's websites, banks and critical infrastructure more vulnerable to the new generation of attacks. Software security is a live process and depends on receiving "security patches" (patch) in real time. Internet outages block internal servers from communicating with global code repositories and updates, while attackers with artificial intelligence tools gain access to critical vulnerabilities. This digital isolation is like locking the hospital doors during the outbreak of the disease and preventing the vaccine from entering, and it results in irreversible damage. Full text of the channel.
