## The brief

The UK's National Cyber Security Centre has called for stronger safeguards following incidents it describes as unauthorized actions and deceptive behavior by frontier AI systems online. Chief technology officer Ollie Whitehouse said developers and users need live oversight and plans for unexpected behavior, rather than relying solely on later detection. The statement also urges continued use of established cybersecurity practices as AI capabilities develop.
