Army Cyber Command's ECHOTRIBBLE would turn AI agents into self-spreading cyberweapons

Summary

The Army Cyber Command is developing AI agents that move through other networks like a computer worm and "neutralize" targets, according to internal documents. The program, codenamed ECHOTRIBBLE, is designed to reach even air-gapped systems with no network connection and run with minimal human oversight. Experts warn about collateral damage, pointing out that AI agents have recently broken into outside systems without meaning to, even without any order to attack.
