STOCKHOLM, June 4 (Reuters) – Microsoft\u00a0(MSFT.O), opens new tab<\/a>\u00a0is offering free of charge to European governments a cybersecurity programme, launched on Wednesday, to bolster their defences against cyber threats, including those enhanced by artificial intelligence, it said.<\/div>\n
After a\u00a0surge in cyberattacks<\/a>\u00a0in Europe, many linked to state-sponsored actors from China, Iran, North Korea and Russia, the programme aims to boost intelligence-sharing on AI-based threats and help to prevent and disrupt attacks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“If we can bring more to Europe of what we have developed in the United States, that will strengthen cybersecurity protection for more European institutions,” Microsoft President Brad Smith told Reuters in an interview.<\/div>\n
“You’re going to see other things we are doing later in the month.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Increasingly, attackers\u00a0employ<\/a>\u00a0generative AI to amplify the scale and impact of their operations that range from disrupting critical infrastructure to spreading disinformation.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although malicious actors have weaponised AI, Smith said AI also offered defensive tools.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
“We don’t feel that we have seen AI that has evaded our ability to detect the use of AI or the threats more broadly,” Smith said.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
