Europol report warns against criminal uses of generative AI

Europol published a report warning about the exploitation of OpenAI's ChatGPT and other generative artificial intelligence systems by cybercriminals, Euractiv reports. "While all of the information ChatGPT provides is freely available on the internet, the possibility to use the model to provide specific steps by asking contextual questions means it is significantly easier for malicious actors to better understand and subsequently carry out various types of crime," the report said.
