AI tools like ChatGPT are being used to create malware and fuel terrorist activity, says the FBI, in a potentially worrying sign for future cybersecurity.
The FBI has warned that hackers are running wild with generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT, quickly creating malicious code and launching cybercrime sprees that would have taken far more effort in the past.
According to a senior FBI official , “We expect over time as adoption and democratization of AI models continues, these trends will increase.” Bad actors are using AI to supplement their regular criminal activities, they continued, including using AI voice generators to impersonate trusted people in order to defraud loved ones or the elderly.
Is ChatGPT a security threat? The FBI strikes a very different stance to some of the cyber experts we spoke to in May 2023. They told us that the threat from AI chatbots has been largely overblown, with most hackers finding better code exploits from more traditional data leaks and open-source research.
