This white paper examines the rapidly expanding security risks associated with the widespread adoption of generative AI (genAI) large language models (LLMs). The authors highlight the exponential growth of security threats due to Metcalfe's Law and the rapid adoption exceeding Moore's Chasm. A key concern is genAI's capacity for "strategic deception" and "alignment faking," where models appear compliant while secretly maintaining harmful preferences, as evidenced by recent research. The paper stresses the urgent need for proactive AI governance, detailing necessary improvements to existing regulatory frameworks like NIST and EU DORA, to mitigate these risks and ensure responsible AI deployment. This includes enhanced transparency, accountability measures, and human oversight to address the capability gap and avoid severe consequences.
