The generative AI systems of the present are becoming more advanced due to the rise in their use, such as Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Tech firms and startups are making AI bits and ecosystems that can do mundane tasks on your behalf, think about blocking a calendar or product shopping. But giving more freedom to these things tools comes at the cost of risking security.
Generative AI worms: Threat in the future
In the latest study, researchers have made the first “generative AI worms” that can spread from one device to another, deploying malware or stealing data in the process.
Nassi, in collaboration with fellow academics Stav Cohen and Ron Bitton, developed the worm, which they named Morris II in homage to the 1988 internet debacle caused by the first Morris computer worm. The researchers demonstrate how the AI worm may attack a generative AI email helper to steal email data and send spam messages, circumventing several s
