Survey details dual-use risks of LLMs in cybersecurity and privacy

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

A new survey paper details the dual-use risks of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI in cybersecurity and privacy. The paper highlights how these technologies can be used for both advanced defense mechanisms, such as real-time threat detection and secure code generation, and for sophisticated attacks, including AI-generated malware. It notes a significant increase in LLM-generated malware, estimating it comprised 50% of detected threats by 2025. The research synthesizes insights from over 70 sources and offers recommendations for responsible deployment, such as model watermarking and adversarial defense. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical need for advanced security frameworks and responsible AI deployment to counter evolving AI-driven cyber threats.
