EP 20 – Hacking ChatGPT

Even if you’ve been living under a super-sized rock for the last few months, you’ve probably heard of ChatGPT. It’s an AI-powered chatbot and it’s impressive. It’s performing better on exams than MBA students. It can debug code and write software. It can write social media posts and emails. Users around the globe are clearly finding it compelling. And the repercussions – good and bad – have the potential to be monumental.

That’s where today’s guest Eran Shimony, Principal Security Researcher for CyberArk Labs, comes into the picture. In fact, in an effort to stay ahead of the bad guys, Eran recently had ChatGPT create polymorphic malware. In conversation with host David Puner, he helps us understand if we are collectively prepared to deal with ChatGPT and the implications it may have for cyber threats. 

How’d did he get ChatGPT to do this and what are the implications? Listen in to find out.
