Cybersecurity experts see uses and abuses in new wave of AI tech
Some organizations are already exploring ways to apply AI in security workflows.
How can AI assist in cybersecurity?
Organizations are looking into various applications of AI in cybersecurity, such as reviewing code for efficiency and potential vulnerabilities, exploring new tactics that malicious actors might employ, and automating repetitive tasks like writing reports. Experts believe that tools like ChatGPT can help enhance security best practices.
What are the risks of using AI in code review?
Experts have raised concerns that using AI tools for code review can lead to the creation of less secure code. A Stanford study indicated that participants with access to AI assistants wrote significantly less secure code and were more likely to mistakenly believe their code was secure. This raises questions about the reliability of AI in critical security tasks.
How are malicious actors using AI?
Malicious actors have quickly adopted generative AI to enhance their operations, using it to write malware, create data encryption tools, and generate phishing emails. Researchers have noted that recent AI systems can produce plausible-sounding text efficiently, making them useful for crafting deceptive communications.
