## Abstract (arXiv)

Agentic AI is shifting the cybersecurity landscape as attackers and defenders leverage AI agents to augment humans and automate common tasks. In this article, we examine the implications for cyber warfare and global politics as Agentic AI becomes more powerful and enables the broad proliferation of capabilities only available to the most well resourced actors today.
