Security News > 2023 > April > Generative AI and security: Balancing performance and risk

Are we moving too fast with AI? This is a central question both inside and outside the tech industry, given the recent tsunami of attention paid to ChatGPT and other generative AI tools.

Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth? Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?

ChatGPT is not owned or controlled by Samsung, and such information shouldn't have come anywhere near it.

The AI functionality, in other words, was sufficiently compelling that Samsung engineers simply forgot it was hosted externally and that they were violating Samsung policy by giving it inside information.

Large-scale data leaks enabled by tools like ChatGPT or Google's Bard won't require planning from criminal masterminds akin to today's hacking groups.

From a security perspective, it's both appealing and daunting to imagine an ultra-smart, cloud-hosted, security-specific AI beyond anything available today.
