AI-Generated Cyber Threats: A New Frontier in Cybersecurity Risk
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The advent of generative artificial intelligence (AI), exemplified by models like ChatGPT, has revolutionized various sectors, but it has also introduced new avenues for cybercriminal activities. Cyber adversaries are increasingly leveraging AI tools to automate and enhance the sophistication of cyberattacks, including malware development, phishing campaigns, and system exploitation. These AI-driven threats lower the barrier to entry for cybercriminals, enabling individuals with limited technical expertise to execute complex attacks. For instance, threat actors have utilized ChatGPT to debug malicious code, develop custom scripts, and obfuscate malware.
