OpenAI publishes an annual report on disrupting malicious uses of AI, detailing its efforts to prevent state-affiliated actors and other bad actors from misusing AI tools for purposes including authoritarian control, child exploitation, influence operations, and cyber attacks.
OpenAI and Microsoft disrupted five state-affiliated threat actors (from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia) who were misusing AI services for phishing campaigns, code analysis, and information gathering. The actors were identified and their accounts terminated, with findings showing limited incremental capabilities of GPT-4 for malicious cybersecurity tasks beyond existing tools.
OpenAI co-authors a comprehensive paper forecasting malicious uses of AI and proposing mitigation strategies, developed in collaboration with leading research institutions. The work emphasizes acknowledging AI's dual-use nature, learning from cybersecurity practices, and broadening stakeholder discussions around AI security risks.
