  1. Deepfakes<\/strong>\n

    Researchers have long described deepfakes as the most worrying use of AI in crime, but the synthetic medium has yet to live up to their predictions. In recent months, however, their fears have begun to become a reality. According to research from London-based ID verification unicorn Onfido, deepfake fraud attempts increased by 30,00% in 2023.<\/li>\n

  2. Deep Scams<\/strong>\n

    Despite the similarity in name to deepfakes, deepfakes do not necessarily involve manipulated media. In this case, the \u201cdeep\u201d refers to the large scale of the scam. Through automation, the targets can be expanded from a few to unlimited.<\/li>\n

  3. LLM-enabled Malware<\/strong>\n

    AI is already writing malware. Hypp\u00f6nen\u2019s team has found three worms that kick off LLM to rewrite the malware\u2019s code every time it replicates. Although these haven\u2019t been seen on live networks yet, they\u2019ve been released on GitHub \u2014 and they work.<\/li>\n

  4. Discovery of Zero-Days<\/strong>\n

    Another emerging concern involves zero-day vulnerabilities, which are discovered by attackers before developers can create solutions. AI can detect these threats, but it can also create them.<\/li>\n

  5. Automated Malware<\/strong>\n

    WithSecure has integrated automation into its defenses, which gives the company an edge over attackers (who still rely primarily on manual operations). For criminals, the obvious way to close the gap is: fully automated malware campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hypp\u00f6nen ranks fully automated malware as the top security threat for 2024. However, there\u2019s an even bigger threat lurking around the corner \u2014 the perilous path toward AGI (artificial general intelligence). Hypp\u00f6nen expects we\u2019ll see the effects of this in his lifetime.\u00a0\u201cI think we\u2019re going to be the second most intelligent being on the planet in my lifetime,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s going to happen in 2024. But I think it\u2019s going to happen in my lifetime.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To maintain human control over AGI, Hypp\u00f6nen argues that we need to have strong alignment with our goals and needs.<\/p>\n

    \"What we're building must understand humanity and share its long-term benefits with humanity... the benefits are great \u2014 bigger than anything \u2014 but the disadvantages are greater than anything. I'm sorry<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
