ChatGPT is the most popular AI platform on the internet. Its developers started some kind of technology revolution by showing us how advanced artificial intelligence can be.
Regular people also take part in AI development by using it daily and filling its database with new knowledge.
However, despite all the advantages of using ChatGPt and similar platforms, this technology is already used for bad and even dangerous purposes.
ChatGPT as a hacker’s guide
- Scammers and cyberbullies use the platform to gather all the helpful information about their target and prompt a plan for the hacking process.
- AI is capable of providing precise technical information about possible vulnerabilities.
- The platform can help a hacker to write malicious code.
Of course, the platform developers are trying to teach AI to not display answers with possible harmful information, but hackers still find a way to detour the obstacles.
Enhancing security with AI
The coin has two sides, so does AI 🙂 Information security specialists use ChatGPT to improve various branches of cybersecurity.
- Organized reports for better and comprehensible analytics;
- Malicious code analysis to know how to remove vulnerabilities and take better security measures;
- Predicting possible scenarios of threats;
- Detecting non-obvious flaws and actions.
We should also remember that by giving away any information to ChatGPT, we actually give permission to use this data for AI learning and hints for another person. This is not big news, but some people may not be aware of this fact.
What is the conclusion?
Using the latest innovative technology is great and helpful, but we should not fully rely on it. ChatGPT and similar AI platforms are great for new, alternative ideas and hints but it does not have to replace a person’s unique way of thinking.
People must learn how to detect AI-generated content to avoid possible threats. Unfortunately, it becomes harder each day due to the rapid AI improvement.
