伦敦9月29日消息：在因人工智能（AI）模型暴露出的漏洞而吸取了“令人谦卑”的教训后，支付巨头Visa将其人工智能驱动的网络防御系统的一部分开源，以应对自主网络攻击和未来量子计算威胁的挑战。
LONDON, Sept 29 : Visa has open-sourced part of its AI-powered cyber defence system after "humbling" lessons from vulnerabilities exposed by AI models, as the payments giant braces for autonomous cyberattacks and future quantum-computing threats.
Visa每天处理大约10亿笔支付，年交易额约为15万亿美元，这使其成为全球金融基础设施的关键部分。
Visa processes roughly a billion payments a day worth around $15 trillion a year, making it a key part of the world's financial plumbing system.
其技术总裁拉贾特·塔内加（Rajat Taneja）向路透社表示，今年早些时候，Anthropic的Mythos AI模型暴露出的系统弱点凸显了挑战的规模，此后该公司将网络防御系统作为开源软件发布。
Its President of Technology, Rajat Taneja, told Reuters the company had made its cyber defence system available as open-source software after weaknesses exposed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model earlier this year highlighted the scale of the challenge.
塔内加称这些漏洞是“令人谦卑的”，并补充说，AI智能体在Hugging Face平台上的攻击可能也预示着未来更严重威胁的冰山一角。
The vulnerabilities were "humbling", Taneja said, adding that the attack by AI agents on the Hugging Face platform may also prove to be an early glimpse of a more serious future threat.
塔内加在谈到AI模型在Hugging Face事件中如何逃脱测试沙盒时表示：“很难预测情况会有多糟，但我们已经看过了预告片。”
"It's hard to predict how bad it could get, but we have seen the trailer," Taneja said, referring to how the AI models escaped a testing sandbox in the Hugging Face incident.
“通常预告片是电影的精华，但我认为这只是这部电影样貌的一个小片段，所以我们必须为此做好准备，并抱持一种承认这项技术威力的心态。”
"Often the trailer is the highlights of the movie, (but) I think this is just a small snippet of what the movie will look like, so we have to prepare for it and we have to have a mindset that acknowledges this technology's power".
除了对AI威胁人类的末日警告外，全球监管机构还担心，一场由AI主导的大规模网络攻击可能会动摇人们对全球金融体系的信心。
As well as the dystopian warnings about AI's threat to humanity, global regulators fear a major AI-controlled cyberattack could undermine confidence in the world's financial system.
Visa面临的利害关系重大。支付公司依赖于信任，这意味着网络攻击可能是毁灭性的。该公司还开始允许某些AI智能体使用Visa。
Visa has plenty at stake. Payments firms rely on trust, meaning cyberattacks can be devastating. It has also started allowing certain AI agents to use Visa.
塔内加没有提供这些支付中有多少正在进行的细节，但行业估计表明，到2030年，大约三分之一的在线商业活动——接近3.1万亿美元的交易——可能会通过AI智能体进行。
Taneja did not provide details on how many of those payments were happening, but industry estimates suggest roughly a third of online commerce - close to $3.1 trillion in transactions - could run through AI agents by 2030.
塔内加表示，未来的网络攻击将具有适应性，能够在没有人类直接干预的情况下不断学习和改进，从而赋予攻击者一种“超能力”。
According to Taneja, future cyberattacks will be adaptive, continuously learning and improving without direct human intervention, giving attackers a "superpower".
“现有的防御系统是行不通的，”塔内贾（Taneja）说道。“如果攻击者具有自主性（即能够自主决策和行动），那么防御系统也必须具备同样的自主性；否则，两者之间就会存在严重的不匹配。”
"Human defences, which are kind of the current model, won't work," Taneja said. "If the adversary is agentic, then the defence has to be agentic too. Otherwise it is a mismatch".
他还强调了量子计算所带来的长期挑战：肖尔算法（Shor’s algorithm）有朝一日可能会让强大的量子计算机破解支撑全球商业的加密标准。因此，企业必须继续寻找应对这种风险的方法。
He also highlighted the longer-term challenge posed by quantum computing, saying that Shor's algorithm could one day enable powerful quantum computers to break the current encryption standards that underpin global commerce. He said firms would therefore have to continue looking for ways to neutralise that risk.
“我们必须保持乐观，”塔内贾说，“但这个问题并没有简单的解决办法。”
"We have to have optimism," Taneja said. "But there is no easy answer."
