GPT Emerges as Key AI Tech for Security Vendors

While there are some concerns about how generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT can be used maliciously -- to craft phishing campaigns or write malware -- several companies are harnessing the power of conversational AI technology to enhance their product capabilities, including for security. ChatGPT, a large language model (LLM) developed by OpenAI, uses GPT 3 LLM and relies on large test data sets culled from multiple sources. ChatGPT, which can understand human language, provides detailed answers to simple questions and can handle complex tasks such as creating documents and writing code in response to user queries. It's an example of how conversational AI can be used to organize large volumes of information and enhance user experience and communications. For instance, a conversational AI tool -- whether that's ChatGPT or something else -- could serve as the back end of an information concierge that automates the use of threat intelligence in enterprise support, according to IT research and advisory firm Into-Tech Research.
