How Generative AI Changes Cybersecurity
Infoworld, Monday, September 25,2023
The impacts of large language models and AI on cybersecurity range from the good to the bad to the ugly. Here's what to watch out for, and how to prepare.
In the technology world, the latter half of the 2010s was mostly about slight tweaks, not sweeping changes: Smartphones got slightly better, and computer processing somewhat improved. Then OpenAI unveiled its ChatGPT in 2022 to the public, and-seemingly all at once-we were in a qualitatively new era.
The predictions have been inescapable in recent months. Futurists warn us that AI will radically overhaul everything from medicine to entertainment to education and beyond. In this instance, the futurists might be closer to the truth. Play with ChatGPT for just a few minutes, and it is impossible not to feel that something massive is on the horizon.
