The Current State of Security Risks of Generative AI in Late 2025 Alright team, let's talk about the elephant in the room that’s been reshaping our threat models and incident response playbooks over the past 18 months: Generative AI. Specifically, how the pervasive integration of models like OpenAI's ChatGPT-4.5, Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Opus, and Google's Gemini Advanced has fundamentally altered enterprise attack surfaces. As of May 2026, we’re no longer talking about theoretical risks.
