Week 3: ChatGPT popularity raises cybersecurity concerns

In November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer), an AI-driven chatbot that can understand and produce human-written text or natural language. This chatbot learns how to produce text that is similar to human conversation by using massive volumes of text data using the Transformer algorithm. It has becomes a useful tool for applications such as customer service, online forums, or even social media. 

This chatbot raises concerns as it became a channel for hackers to write phishing emails and codes. Those attackers can simply change the user input or adapt the output generated in order to create malicious content. Furthermore, the chatbot's great language selection menu makes it easier for hackers to target users worldwide.

As a lot of companies have started to use AI, hackers have been searching for AI vulnerabilities in order to exploit them. It's important to verify the source of the links and of the files before clicking on them or before downloading them.
