AI cybercrime is getting faster, cheaper, and easier to scale. In this episode of The Human Edge, Patrick Somers and Scott Stolze break down what the Anthropic threat report says about AI-enabled cyberattacks—and why business owners should pay attention.

The Anthropic threat report describes cases where attackers used AI to help carry out parts of cyber operations, with people choosing targets and reviewing results. The danger of AI cybercrime isn’t necessarily a brand-new kind of crime. It’s the ability to run familiar attacks with fewer people and less effort.

We discuss how AI-enabled cyberattacks can affect businesses, nonprofits, and individuals; why a digital trail may not be enough to stop an attacker; and why security awareness needs to reach frontline employees, not just the executive team. Patrick also explains why an AI-generated voice call can put even a low-tech organization at risk.

If you own or lead an organization, the Anthropic threat report is a reason to revisit how your team recognizes suspicious requests, verifies identities, and responds when something feels off. AI cybercrime is a people issue as much as a technology issue—and preparing for AI-enabled cyberattacks starts with a conversation your whole team can understand.
