GPT-4 kicks AI security risks into higher gear

Join top executives in San Francisco on July 11-12, to hear how leaders are integrating and optimizing AI investments for success. As Arthur C. Clarke once put it, any sufficiently advanced technology is "indistinguishable from magic." Some might say this is true of ChatGPT, too -- including, if you will, black magic. Immediately upon its launch in November, security teams, pen testers and developers began discovering exploits in the AI chatbot -- and those continue to evolve with its newest iteration, GPT-4, released earlier this month. "GPT-4 won't invent a new cyberthreat," said Hector Ferran, VP of marketing at BlueWillow AI. "But just as it is being used by millions already to augment and simplify a myriad of mundane daily tasks, so too could it be used by a minority of bad actors to augment their criminal behavior."
