Generative AI (GenAI) is technology that allows the programmatic creation of new and original content including speech, text, images, video and music. GenAI can analyse, improve or alter existing content, and it can create new data elements and models of tangible objects such as civil structures, components and drugs.
In the context of cyber security, the risks associated with GenAI are significant and rapidly evolving. Some of these risks include accuracy, inherent biases, intellectual property and copyright risks, and a lack of transparency of the GenAI models themselves. Malicious actors may use GenAI systems for cyber attacks and fraud, such as deepfakes and hallucinations.
TasICT encourages all members to become familiar with this emerging technology.
“Trustworthy, ethical, safe and secure, this is the generative artificial intelligence we want and need. With the international principles and the Code of Conduct, the EU and our like-minded partners can lead the way in making sure AI brings benefits while addressing its risks. We call on developers of generative AI to commit to the application of the Code of Conduct.” Věra Jourová, Vice-President for Values and Transparency
