Plus: Suomi security warnings and artists rebel against AI on Artstation
A report this week by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency warned that AI-supported attack tools are going to become the bane of security workers' lives. The[PDF] a five-year timescale in which criminals use AI systems to automate and extend vulnerability scanning, scan huge datasets to make phishing more accurately targeted, and use code to impersonate humans for financial and access purposes.
Some of these latter techniques are already in use – GAN systems are routinely used to generate false faces and occasionally voices for fraudulent purposes. This is going to grow rapidly, the authors predict. But the use of AI to search for flaws in firewalls and other systems is also going to see huge growth in this early period.
By year five, however, the team expect to see AI tools extending all the way along the supply chain – from invading a network, exfiltrating data or executing commands, and reacting to protective software's efforts to find and stop the attack. At the moment there are no publicly available training models for criminals to use for this, but that could change soon.
Epic responded with a change to the terms and conditions. While the site's default setting will be to allow AI engines to use images on the site, artists can now opt out. It will, however, continue to post AI generated images, although it's looking at ways to allow them to be screened off by users. "We believe artists should be free to decide how their art is used, and simultaneously we don't want to become a gatekeeper with site terms that stifle AI research and commercialization when it respects artists' choices and copyright law,"In the long term it looks as though the fight by human artists to protect their work and livelihoods may be a lost cause.
