Generative AI’s Challenges to Cyber Security

Introduction

Generative AI is revolutionising many fields, including cyber security. But with great power comes great responsibility. While generative AI offers enhanced threat detection and proactive security measures, it poses new risks. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of generative AI in cyber security and strategies to mitigate these risks.

What is Generative AI?

Understanding the Basics

Generative AI involves models that can generate new content based on large datasets. These models, like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), learn patterns and structures from the data on which they are trained. They can create text, images, and music that mimic human-like qualities.

Generative AI in Everyday Life

You might have interacted with generative AI without even realising it. From chatbots providing customer support to tools that suggest content based on your preferences, generative AI is embedded in many applications we use daily.
