OpenAI acknowledges that while their AI tools have the potential to improve lives and tackle complex challenges, there are also malicious actors who may abuse these tools for harmful purposes. State-affiliated groups, in particular, pose unique risks due to their access to advanced technology and skilled personnel. OpenAI, in partnership with Microsoft Threat Intelligence, has disrupted the activities of five such state-affiliated actors who attempted to use AI services for malicious cyber activities. The actors engaged in various activities, ranging from research and coding tasks to phishing campaigns. OpenAI takes a multi-pronged approach to combatting such actors, including monitoring and disrupting their activities, collaborating with the AI ecosystem, iterating on safety measures, and promoting public transparency.
