AI models that can take down governments and business months away, rare Five Eyes statement warns

Intelligence agencies from Australia, the US, the UK, New Zealand, and Canada have issued an unusually public joint warning that AI systems capable of destabilizing governments and critical infrastructure may arrive within months. The statement follows the Trump administration's decision to restrict foreign nationals from accessing Anthropic's Fable model, signaling that the national security implications of frontier AI are being treated with growing urgency. The intervention by signals agencies—bodies not known for public commentary—marks a notable shift in how Western governments are communicating AI risk.
