emollick · x · 2026-07-20
AI scholar Ethan Mollick warns that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) at large organizations must pay close attention to the security risks highlighted in recent red team reports for open-source LLMs (like DeepSeek).
Based on historical trends, he predicts there is a window of only 6 to 9 months before these high-risk capabilities reach malicious actors. Enterprises must comprehensively upgrade their security defenses before this window closes.
