A UK government report warns that by 2025, artificial intelligence could escalate the risk of cyberattacks and undermine public confidence in online content .
It also suggests that terrorists could use the technology to plot chemical or biological strikes.
However, other experts doubt that technology will advance as predicted. It is expected this week that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak would highlight the opportunities and threats of technology.
The government report analyses generative AI, the kind of technology that now powers image-generating software and chatbots that are widely employed.
The possibility that AI would enable faster, more potent, and extensive cyberattacks by 2025 is another concern pointed up in the report.

This presents challenges since bureaucratic terminology has a specific tone that hackers have found tricky to exploit.
