Fake AI tools aren't AI Malware

I wont even click the link and give them a visit

"AI Malware Is Here" implies the AI is writing malware. You wouldn't say "IRS Malware Is Here" if people were distributing fake tax-filing tools with malware, which is all that's shown here.

AI generated threats to cyber security are real. AI tools are being used to generate code faster and little or no tech knowledge is needed to carry out an attack. This was not possible before. Automated attacks are being driven with the help of AI too. APTs and deepfakes and many other forms of threats are now common. See: https://www.cshub.com/threat-defense/articles/cyber-security...

Sadly it is almost inevitable we'll have another Bredolab-size botnet (30 mln computers, 1% of all) by cybercriminals but this time it'll be an AI botnet.

As soon as AI components will be useful, they'll be in botnets. And with such a size, you have more compute than OpenAI and can train a frontier misaligned model or modify an open source one:

The solution is to not just have 10% of compute in clouds like we have now but at least 50% in SOTA clouds, to have more compute than botnets. Have AI model App Store, probably NVIDIA will become like Apple:

Will have at least the most minimal checks on what runs on their hardware

We'll have to do it but better to do it early not late

It can be a unicorn startup that NVIDIA will want to buy (motivating gamers to put GPUs in clouds is easy, same with others really, you can share $30-1500/month with them by renting GPUs from your cloud to corporations and others)

There is Salad but they don't secure the hardware and software, so can't really have corporate clients. Amazon AWS, Azure, others, show that it's a real business. Unicorn-sized just in the USA (even bigger if global) if you'll do the math

I think what worries me is that AI allows the fraud barrier to entry to be lowered - malware is malware but ai built website with a landing page looks like some startup - now with veo3 you can even generate talking head video testimonials in an instant to go with a fake but auth looking gwebsite

"Chatgpt is just the tip of the iceberg, here's 47 tools that.. "

One of the disadvantages of openness, everyone can fork or wrap the api, and mitm themselves at either no or minimal added value.

> malicious actors are exploiting its popularity by distributing a range of malware disguised as AI solutions’ installers and tools.

This sounds like the ordinary problem of ordinary malware in programs downloaded and installed off the Internet.

"AI malware is here" makes me think malware in the behavior of the "AI", or malware developed by AI.
