Europol has issued a stark warning about the dangers of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT.
', it says that LLMs can easily be misused for fraud and social engineering, cyber crime and disinformation. It describes the prospects for law enforcement as 'grim'.
ChatGPT’s ability to draft highly realistic text makes it a useful tool for phishing purposes, says Europol, with the ability of LLMs to reproduce language patterns allowing them to impersonate the style of speech of specific individuals or groups. The same ability allows LLMs to be used for propaganda and disinformation purposes, by generating messages with relatively little effort. And because it can generate code in the same way, it allows criminals with relatively little technical knowledge to produce malicious code.
"The release of GPT-4 was meant not only to improve the functionality of ChatGPT, but also to make the model less likely to produce potentially harmful output," the report reads.
