“Charles Darwin’s natural selection theory suggests it is not the strongest or most intelligent that survive—it is those most adaptable and resilient to change. The AI revolution has arrived, despite its infinite beauty and possibility for good, cyber criminals are evolving AI for use in cyber-attacks. In the ultimate struggle for dominance, AI will put Darwin’s theory of natural selection to the test in an arms race between cyber criminals and cybersecurity defenders. If Darwin’s theory is correct, it will be the group –either the criminals or defenders– most able to adapt and be resilient to change in the face of evolving AI that will survive and thrive.”
We are thrilled to share this insightful piece co-authored by Justine Phillips, Avi Toltzis, Victoria Fanous, and Gaurav Lalsinghani. This article explores the weaponization and use of generative AI by cyber criminals to perpetrate crimes. The purpose of this Article is to create a resource for terminology on this topic, explain tactics and techniques leveraged by cyber criminals, and provide examples of how these technologies are used to exploit companies in cyber-attacks. By creating a language and awareness, we can better prepare our organizations and communities to be resilient against AI-powered cyber-attacks.
