A surge in hacking attempts by criminals, fraudsters and spy agencies has reached a level of "unprecedented complexity" that only artificial intelligence will be able to combat, Microsoft says.

The company is launching 11 AI cybersecurity "agents" tasked with identifying and sifting through suspicious emails, blocking hacking attempts and gathering intelligence on where attacks may originate.

Microsoft has long been the prime target for hackers, with 70% of computers running Windows software.
