AI Researcher, Professor Pengcheng Shi, explains what is ChatGPT and whether it threatens your job
AI tools such as ChatGPT can be tricked into producing malicious code. Experts say this code could be used to launch cyber attacksChatGPT can be tricked into carrying out cyberattacks by ordinary people, a report has warned.
The team from the University of Sheffield said the chatbots were so complex that many – including the companies producing them – were 'simply not aware' of the threats they posed.READ MORE: Career expert explains why you should use ChatGPT to prepare for an interview But now a life coach, Darci Smith, who goes by @careercoachdarci on TikTok, has a new use for the AI, which she says is 'changing lives.
However the team at Sheffield's Department of Computer Science said there were likely to be more and called on the cybersecurity industry to look at the issue in more detail. Researchers fear that it could lead to innocent users not realising they had done so and accidently infect computer systems. 'For example, a nurse could ask ChatGPT to write an SQL command so that they can interact with a database, such as one that stores clinical records.
The findings were presented at the International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering in Florence, Italy, earlier this month. 'As shown in our study, the SQL code produced by ChatGPT in many cases can be harmful to a database, so the nurse in this scenario may cause serious data management faults without even receiving a warning.'
The billionaire first shared his distaste for AI in 2014, calling it humanity's 'biggest existential threat' and comparing it to 'summoning the demon.' During a 2016 interview, Musk noted that he and OpenAI created the company to 'have democratisation of AI technology to make it widely available.'
