- Karadi warned that Iran's offensive digital technologies advance alongside its nuclear ambitions.
- He described a cyber warfare strategy of "war of attrition" that depletes national infrastructure.
- Karadi cautioned about the risks of millions of autonomous devices acting dangerously due to cyberattacks.
- The imbalance in cyberspace favors attackers, Karadi stated.
He stated that while the international community focuses on Tehran's nuclear ambitions, Iran is simultaneously advancing its digital offensive capabilities. Karadi highlighted a significant imbalance in cyberspace, where attackers can exploit a single vulnerability with one AI model, while defenders must protect numerous organizations around the clock against diverse threats and comply with strict regulations.
Karadi introduced the concept of a "war of attrition" in cyber warfare, where accumulating damage over time can deplete a nation's infrastructure if the pace of hostile actions outstrips recovery speed. He also demonstrated a humanoid robot, drawing attention to the risks of controlling autonomous systems. The widespread use of robotics, he cautioned, could lead to millions of devices performing dangerous actions simultaneously due to a single cyberattack or software update, resulting in real-world incidents.
