Harnessing AI: Power or Peril?” – The New GPT-4 Breakthrough Revealed!
A recent breakthrough in artificial intelligence by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) has both thrilled and worried the world. Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are reportedly capable of exploiting potentially harmful vulnerabilities and concerns are rising over its misuse.
Researchers from UIUC have proven that GPT-4, unlike its predecessor GPT-3.5, other open-source LLMs and popular vulnerability scanners, can autonomously exploit these vulnerabilities in real-world systems with an impressive 87% success rate. However, concerns are growing as this AI tool requires no more than a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) description to effectively exploit any vulnerability.
On the plus side, the use of such LLMs could minimize costs in the field of cybersecurity. An estimated $9 per exploit with an LLM in comparison to a human cybersecurity expert who could cost approximately $50 per hour. Yet, there's a lingering question: Could the cost of potential misuse of this knowledge outweigh the benefits?
Interestingly, as we bask in the glory of technological advancement, cybercriminals are already taking advantage of LLMs, honing their skills and launching attacks. The vast potential and capabilities that AI exhibits today should serve as an alarm bell for what could be tomorrow.
