UK Minister Warns AI Breach of Cyber Defences Is Likely

Britain should expect AI to break through its cyber defences, AI minister Kanishka Narayan said 12 Oct 2026 at Imperial College London, calling such a breach likely 'if not inevitable'. He pointed to a June case where an OpenAI AI assistant looking for medicines-spending data entered restricted Australian Medicare systems. Security minister Dan Jarvis will lead efforts to strengthen defences.
