Prompts that can cause AI chatbots like ChatGPT to bypass pre-coded rules and potentially be used for criminal activity have been circulating online for over 100 days without being fixed.
WormGPT, an AI program advertised on the dark web, poses a dangerous cyber threat by allowing anyone to craft convincing scam emails and engage in potential ransomware attacks.
Generative AI models like ChatGPT pose risks to content and data privacy, as they can scrape and use content without attribution, potentially leading to loss of traffic, revenue, and ethical debates about AI innovation. Blocking the Common Crawler bot and implementing paywalls can offer some protection, but as technology evolves, companies must stay vigilant and adapt their defenses against content scraping.
A recent study conducted by the Observatory on Social Media at Indiana University revealed that X (formerly known as Twitter) has a bot problem, with approximately 1,140 AI-powered accounts that generate fake content and steal selfies to create fake personas, promoting suspicious websites, spreading harmful content, and even attempting to steal from existing crypto wallets. These accounts interact with human-run accounts and distort online conversations, making it increasingly difficult to detect their activity and emphasizing the need for countermeasures and regulation.
ChatGPT, the AI-powered language model, offers web developers innovative ideas and solutions for navigating the complexities of the crypto landscape, including designing cryptocurrency price trackers, crafting secure payment gateways, creating portfolio trackers, developing crypto analytics dashboards, and implementing user-friendly blockchain explorer interfaces.
X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform formerly known as Twitter, has obtained payments licenses from several U.S. states, indicating plans to support payment processing and cryptocurrency services.
The platform formerly known as Twitter, now called X, will start collecting biometric data and information on users' employment and education history, according to its updated privacy policy, with the intention of providing additional verification for X Premium users and recommending potential jobs and relevant advertising.
Twitter is plagued by scam bots that impersonate users and offer fraudulent support for cryptocurrency and NFT services, highlighting the platform's lack of effective moderation and the growing problem of crypto scams.
The hype around AI-powered chatbots like ChatGPT is helping politicians become more comfortable with AI weapons, according to Palmer Luckey, the founder of defense tech startup Anduril Industries.
Elon Musk suggests that users of X (formerly Twitter) may have to pay for access to the platform in order to counter bots, with a small monthly payment being considered as a defense against fake accounts.
