Recent developments in AI reveal potential security risks inherent in AI tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
As part of the most recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers have revealed several potential security risks that are inherent in AI tools, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT applications.
AI Tools Faces Security Risks
The rapid introduction of artificial intelligence tools by various companies may lead one to believe that using these tools is risk-free.
Nevertheless, recent investigations into these cutting-edge technologies have unveiled the possibility that consumers may be more susceptible to certain security risks, even though this is not the current situation.
It is important to remember that various regulatory authorities have said there are already concerns regardingthe safety of artificial intelligence.
Researchers have noted the potential for artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, which launched its most recent version a few weeks ago, to act as breeding grounds for malware threats.
According to the study’s findings, a malicious software worm “exploits bad architecture design for the GenAI ecosystem and is not a vulnerability in the GenAI service.”
We named this malware worm Morris II after the Morris worm, which collapsed around 10 % of all internet-connected computers in 1988.
This particular type of malicious software worm is capable of causing damage by duplicating itself and spreading to other computer systems.
Most of the time, it is unnecessary for the user to involve themselves in infecting generative AI. Typically, these GenAI platforms require text-based prompts and instructions to perform their functions.
Through the manipulation of prompts and the transformation of those prompts into harmful instructions, Morris II tries to circumvent the system.
Malicious prompts trick the GenAI into performing actions that harm the system and the user without their knowledge. Therefore, we advise users using artificial intelligence to exercise extreme vigilance and caution when it comes to emails and links from unknown or unreliable sources.
Users may also invest in dependable and effective antivirus software that can easily recognize and eliminate malware, including these computer worms.
This is considered a form of reinforcement. The researchers have determined this is the most effective approach for preventing malware worms security risks from entering your system.
Some other ideas that may be made to limit the activities of malware worms include the utilization of robust passwords, the implementation of consistent system updates, and the restriction of file sharing.
During this investigation, Sam Altman’s OpenAI presented a new artificial intelligence tool capable of recreating the human voice. To replicate a person’s voice, Voice Engine requires two things: text input and a single recording sample that is fifteen seconds long.
Based on the GenAI concept, there is a significant possibility that malicious actors will use this new tool once it enters production after the testing phase.
