OpenAI, the developer of the ChatGPT technology, is exploring the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in automating cybersecurity work. The company is offering a $1 million grant to fund AI projects that can help enhance cybersecurity, such as patching vulnerabilities, stopping social engineering attacks, or encouraging consumers to adopt best security practices. OpenAI is asking for proposals in various areas, including creating honeypots and deception technology. The company hopes that AI could help tackle the ongoing battle against cyberattacks and address the scarcity of workers in the cybersecurity industry. However, some people worry that AI could lead to false positives and waste time and resources.
OpenAI is an AI research lab focusing on responsible AI development and deployment. The company, co-founded by tech industry heavyweights such as Elon Musk and Sam Altman, aims to ensure that AI is safe, secure, and beneficial for humanity.
ChatGPT is an AI language-processing tool that can generate human-like text responses. OpenAI has developed various versions of ChatGPT, such as GPT-3, which gained attention for its ability to mimic human writing. Microsoft is a partner of OpenAI and is testing the use of ChatGPT as a cybersecurity tool with an upcoming product called Security Copilot.
