Iran builds army using ChatGPT & Gemini: Trump’s Pentagon in panic, Hegseth never expected this?
A Financial Times report reveals Iran is leveraging Western AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to enhance cyber warfare, including phishing attacks and espionage targeting the U.S. and Israel. Experts warn Tehran’s AI-driven cyber capabilities could soon outpace traditional military threats, raising concerns about future digital conflicts.
Iranian-linked actors are using ChatGPT, Gemini, and other Western AI models to strengthen cyber warfare operations, according to a Financial Times report. These tools are being deployed to refine phishing attacks, generate malicious code, and conduct online espionage campaigns aimed at the U.S. and Israel. The report highlights Tehran’s rapid expansion of AI-driven cyber capabilities, including the development of closed national AI systems under sanctions. This shift suggests a growing reliance on digital deception over conventional military tactics, potentially reshaping future U.S.-Iran confrontations. Experts warn that AI-powered cyberattacks could escalate tensions, with conflicts beginning in cyberspace rather than through missile strikes. The development underscores a strategic evolution in Iran’s military and intelligence operations, leveraging advanced technology to bypass traditional defenses. The Financial Times notes that while Iran has historically faced sanctions limiting access to cutting-edge technology, Western AI tools are now being exploited to fill gaps. This raises concerns about the effectiveness of current cybersecurity measures against AI-enhanced threats. The report comes as tensions between the U.S. and Iran remain high, with cyber warfare emerging as a critical front in potential conflicts. Analysts suggest that Iran’s use of AI in cyber operations could force a reassessment of global cybersecurity strategies.
