A pilot study published on arXiv investigated the effectiveness of AI-generated spear-phishing SMS messages compared to those written by humans. Researchers used GPT-4 to create personalized messages and compared them to messages written by novice students. The study found that GPT-4 messages elicited an intention to click slightly more often than human-authored messages, though the difference was not statistically significant. Participants were also unable to accurately distinguish between AI-generated and human-written messages, suggesting that AI could increase the scale of social-engineering threats. AI
IMPACT Suggests AI could increase the scale and effectiveness of social-engineering attacks, highlighting the need for improved detection methods.
