The EU's police force Europol he warned on Monday for possible misuse of chatbot ChatGPT an artificial tool intelligences in phishing attempts, disinformation and cybercrime.
The concerns that already exist concern legal as well as ethical issues.
“Καθώς οι δυνατότητες των LLMs (μεγάλων γλωσσικών μοντέλων, από το large language models) όπως το ChatGPT βελτιώνονται συνεχώς, η πιθανή εκμετάλλευση αυτών των τύπων συστημάτων τεχνητής νοημοσύνης από εγκληματίες παρέχει μια δυσοίωνη προοπτική”, ανέφερε η Europol παρουσιάζοντας την πρώτη της report technology initiated by the chatbot.
Η service singled out the harmful use of ChatGPT in three areas of crime.
"ChatGPT's ability to compose highly realistic text makes the tool very useful for phishing purposes," Europol said.
With its ability to reproduce language patterns to impersonate the speaking style of specific individuals or groups, the chatbot could be used by criminals looking to target victims, the EU law enforcement agency said.
He also mentioned that ChatGPT's ability to produce authentic audio text with speed and scale, also makes it an ideal tool for propaganda and disinformation.
“It allows users to create and spread messages that reflect a specific narrative with relatively little effort.”
Criminals with little technical knowledge could turn to ChatGPT to generate malicious code, Europol said.
