Hi, I'm Ryan Levy.

Welcome to Cyber reasons Malicious Life. Every so often the entire landscape of cyber security shifts all it wants.

Like in 2010, after a joint US-Israeli warm penetrated an offline Iranian nuclear facility causing its centrifuges

to seemingly, randomly, and inexplicably fail, waking up the world to the fact that computer

malware could cause physical consequences and shape international

order along with it.

And ever since 2020, when a Russian espionage campaign managed to use just one network services company to reach

18,000 organizations, including a dozen branches of the U.S. federal government, nobody has stopped talking about the threat of supply

chain compromise.

The latest seismic shift in the field occurred just last year.

You might have noticed it, especially if you attended the annual Black Hat Conference in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.

As presenters took the stage on the night in Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago.

As presenters took the stage on the ninth and eighth, just two days worth of speeches, a full

16 of their speeches concerned artificial intelligence and machine learning, including the opening keynote for the entire conference.

Of those, nearly half focused specifically on threats deriving not from general futuristic AI but the kinds of

personal assistance fueled by large language models

LLLMs like chat gPT. Other talks took a broader scope, but remained relevant to that particular niche.

So in this episode of Malicious Life, we're going to take a look into the future of cyber security,

and how generative AI, like chat gPT, will change cyberspace through the eyes of five research teams breaking ground in the field.

We'll start off simple and gradually build to increasingly more complex, more futuristic examples of how this technology might well turn against us, forcing us to

solve problems we'd never considered before. Which takes us late last year as Chad Jipiti took the world by storm and Gil Gecker and his colleagues came up with an idea.

So what we wanted to do is execute cyber attack using only AI-written code and text. We didn't want to write anything,
