A team from cybersecurity firm Claroty used the AI bot to write code to exploit vulnerabilities in industrial systems
The ChatGPT AI bot has spurred speculation about how hackers might use it and similar tools to attack faster and more effectively, though the more damaging exploits so far have been in laboratories.
In its current form, the ChatGPT bot from OpenAI, an artificial-intelligence startup backed by billions of dollars from Microsoft Corp., is mainly trained to digest and generate text. For security chiefs, that means bot-written phishing emails might be more convincing than, for example, messages from a hacker whose first language isn’t English.
… Two security researchers from cybersecurity company Claroty Ltd. said ChatGPT helped them win the Zero Day Initiative’s hack-a-thon in Miami last month. Read More

Runway debuts AI model that can generate videos from text
Startup Runway AI Inc. today debuted Gen-2, an artificial intelligence model that can generate brief video clips based on text prompts.
… Gen-2, the startup’s new AI model for generating videos, is an improved version of an existing neural network called Gen-1 that debuted in February. …Runway’s original Gen-1 neural network takes an existing video as input along with a text prompt that describes what edits should be made. A user could, for example, supply Gen-1 with a video of a green car and a text prompt that reads “paint the car red”. The model will then automatically make the corresponding edits. Read More
Midjourney V5 is Out Now – Next Steps in Photorealistic Experience with AI Art
Arecent breakthrough in AI, you might have missed: the highly awaited Midjourney V5 is out now. The independent research lab has just released their latest version of the famous AI art generator. Some already call it “a world of photorealistic wonder” in terms of creating breathtaking images from text prompts. Wonder or not, the newly trained model promises significant improvements in language understanding, accuracy, and stylistic flexibility. Let’s try it out together and see what this update is capable of.
V5 is the second deep-learning model from Midjourney and has been in the works for the past five months. It claims to use completely different neural architecture and new aesthetic techniques compared to its predecessor. As developers put it: “You might hear it characterized as newly trained, bigger-brained, that it knows more, understands more, or listens better. All these things are true of V5.“ Of course, we had to try for ourselves. And lo-and-behold, this release does create wonders, even if it is still just an alpha test. Read More
