As with any new technology, the development and deployment of ChatGPT is likely to have a significant impact on the field of cybersecurity. In many ways, ChatGPT and other AI technologies hold great promise for improving the ability of organizations and individuals to defend against cyber threats.

For even the most skilled hackers, it can take at least an hour to write a script to exploit a software vulnerability and infiltrate their target. Soon, a machine may be able to do it in mere seconds.When OpenAI last week released its ChatGPT tool, allowing users to interact with an artificial intelligence chatbot, computer security researcher Brendan Dolan-Gavitt wondered whether he could instruct it to write malicious code. So, he asked the model to solve a simple capture-the-flag challenge.

OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT bot is making waves when it comes to all the amazing things it can do-from writing music to coding to generating vulnerability exploits, and what not. Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1, 2]. Within six days of its launch, ChatGPT surpassed a million users to the extent its servers couldn't keep up.

From precisely spotting security vulnerabilities in your code, to writing an essay or an entire block of functional code on a whim, to opening portals to another dimension, OpenAI's newly launched ChatGPT is a game changer with its possibilities seeming limited only by your limitedness. Last week, OpenAI research labs unveiled ChatGPT, a chat bot that works from within your web browser-akin to the ones you've seen on websites offering customer support chat.
