FULL STORY
======================================================================

 AI writers and chatbots have seen huge success in recent months following a 
boom started by ChatGPT since its launch in November 2022. 

With its latest incarnation now upon us - the multi-modal GPT-4 model, 
capable of handling media like images - large language models (LLMs) have 
been improving worker efficiency and harnessing creativity, but theyre not 
without their risk. 

To that end, the UKs National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has issued a 
general warning in a blog post , exposing some of the associated risks to 
cybersecurity from LLMs. ChatGPT dangers 

Technical directors and authors David C and Paul J begin by debunking some 
myths: for example, a growing concern that ChatGPT and similar tools will 
learn and store information fed into them by end users. This is not true, 
with training carried out in a controlled environment by the creators of such 
models. Read more

However, information about queries do get fed back to the relevant companies, 
meaning that OpenAI, the firm behind ChatGPT, will be able to determine the 
sorts of questions users are asking to improve its services. For this reason, 
the NCSC advises not to share personal or confidential information anywhere 
online, including with chatbots. 

Outside the realms of everyday users, the authors also note the use by 
malicious actors who may be able to carry out cyberattacks beyond their usual 
scope, suggesting that we are at an increased risk of more sophisticated 
attacks. 

As interest in artificial intelligence continues to grow, so too does 
skepticism about the cutting-edge technology. Recently, Bloomberg reported 
that banking giant JP Morgan had introduced restrictions against staff usage 
of ChatGPT due to fears of having to entrust external software. Educational 
establishments around the world have also imposed restrictions over its use 
in acts of academic dishonesty. Check out the best endpoint protection
