The first fully autonomous AI-driven ransomware attack—where AI selects the target, sets up infrastructure, and executes the attack without human intervention—will occur before 2027-07-07. The rapid evolution of agentic AI tools and their integration into cybercrime workflows make this outcome highly plausible.
