Game theory suggests how to sequence AI model releases against cyberattacks

Researchers led by Christoph Landolt used game theory to calculate how releases of new AI models could be sequenced to give software vendors a strategic head start over cybercriminals. The "Red Queen's Race" metaphor describes how growing frontier-model capabilities accelerate attacks as well.

• The approach uses game theory to model the race between AI models and attackers
• The goal is to give software vendors a strategic head start
• Growing frontier-model capabilities also accelerate cyberattacks
