Saurabh Bagchi is a professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University. In this video, he explains what ChatGPT is and how it will impact cybersecurity. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence-based chatbot developed by OpenAI. This chatbot can be used to generate essays, engage in philosophical conversations and even write software code for users. However, Bagchi says that ChatGPT is still far off from more advanced AI systems that could have the intelligence and independent creativity of a human. ChatGPT is tightly controlled by OpenAI and has programmed the chatbot to refuse “inappropriate requests” from users. This includes requests to generate harmful code for use in cybersecurity attacks. Bagchi points out that some users have found ways to bypass these restrictions and could use the chatbot to create convincing phishing emails in an attempt to steal private information. Bagchi believes that ChatGPT can be used to train cybersecurity systems and human operators better by generating examples of what cyberattacks look like, strengthening the security of our computing systems.
