Can AI autonomously hack and control 90% of financial infrastructure worldwide ?

Cyber defense systems are struggling to keep pace with increasingly sophisticated AI-driven attacks. Financial networks are prime targets due to their interconnectedness and high-value transactions. Current AI can identify vulnerabilities and execute complex attacks, but widespread control may still require human coordination. The feasibility of total infrastructure domination remains hotly debated.
As of 2024, AI cannot autonomously hack or control 90% of global financial infrastructure. While AI is increasingly used for cybersecurity, fraud detection, and automated trading, it lacks the ability to independently breach robust, layered defenses of major financial institutions such as banks, payment processors, or central bank systems. Current AI systems depend on human oversight, predefined rules, or specific vulnerabilities, and cannot autonomously orchestrate complex multi-vector attacks at the scale required. Regulatory safeguards, encryption, and distributed architectures further reduce the feasibility of such autonomous control.
