Europol has released a report detailing the potential misuse of large language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT by criminals and bad actors. The report identifies three main areas of concern: fraud and social engineering, disinformation, and cybercrime. The ability of ChatGPT to generate authentic-sounding text and code at scale makes it a useful tool for these activities. Europol warns that with the inevitable improvements in AI technology, it is increasingly important for law enforcement agencies to stay up-to-date and prevent abuse of these models.
