Trouble GPT: Malicious AI models a new danger to global safety

Experts are raising alarms about the misuse of AI models, particularly in aiding criminal activities such as terrorism, malware creation, and phishing. The rise of publicly available tools for AI misuse poses significant risks to global safety. Security vulnerabilities in popular Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT, Google's Gemini, and Meta's LLaMA have made them attractive targets for malicious actors.

The phenomenon of 'jailbreaking' these AI models allows bad actors to manipulate them into performing harmful tasks. Notable examples include WormGPT, which has sparked a trend of creating similar malicious tools. Governments are beginning to implement policies like the EU's AI Act to combat these threats and ensure ethical AI use.

• Harmful AI models could facilitate terrorism and financial crimes.

• Jailbreaking techniques exploit vulnerabilities in AI systems.
