With the increased public interest in ChatGPT, the Europol Innovation Lab took the matter seriously and conducted a series of workshops involving subject matter experts from various departments of Europol.

These workshops aimed to investigate potential ways in which large language models like ChatGPT can be exploited by criminals and how they can be utilized to aid investigators in their day-to-day tasks.

Their insights are compiled in Europol's first Tech Watch Flash report, ChatGPT - the impact of Large Language Models on Law Enforcement, which provides an overview on the potential misuse of ChatGPT, and offers an outlook on what may still be to come.

As the capabilities of LLMs such as ChatGPT are actively being improved, the potential exploitation of these types of AI systems by criminals provide a grim outlook.

Disinformation: ChatGPT excels at producing authentic-sounding text at speed and scale.

Cybercrime: In addition to generating human-like language, ChatGPT is capable of producing code in a number of different programming languages.
