The European Union’s police agency, Europol, warned, on Monday, of abuse by criminals of large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT.
It noted in a press release that three crime areas are amongst the many areas of concern identified by Europol’s experts of misuse of ChatGPT by criminals.
They are Fraud and social engineering, Disinformation and Cybercrime.
Europol said that in response to the growing public attention given to ChatGPT, the Europol Innovation Lab organized a number of workshops with subject matter experts from across Europol to explore how criminals can abuse ChatGPT, as well as how it may assist investigators in their daily work.
Their insights are compiled in Europol’s first Tech Watch Flash report published today.
Entitled “ChatGPT, the impact of Large Language Models on Law Enforcement,” this document provides an overview on the potential misuse of ChatGPT, and offers an outlook on what may still be to come.
The aim of this report is to raise awareness about the potential misuse of LLMs, to open a dialogue with Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies to help them build in better safeguards, and to promote the development of safe and trustworthy AI systems, said Europol, which is based at the Dutch city of the Hague.
