This is possible, since AI is a huge force multiplier for these hackers. We’re covering that aspect of […]
What is Generative AI in Cybersecurity
Generative AI is a field within artificial intelligence. GenAI digests enormous amounts of data, and later creates new content, such as text, images, videos or music, based on what it learned from the data it digested. While the roots of generative AI go back to the 1950s and 1960s, it’s only in the last decade that GenAI leaped forward and gained wide adoption. The most famous leap, and public recognition, occurred in late 2022, when OpenAI launched its ChatGPT. This launch has shaken the business world in ways we don’t yet fully understand.
