A Tentative Step Towards Artificial General Intelligence With An Offensive Security Mindset
Fortinet News, Thursday, June 15,2023
November 30, 2022, was the date that ChatGPT was first revealed to the world. And according to Tooltester, it quickly became the fastest-growing consumer application in history, garnering one million users in its first five days.
At the heart of ChatGPT is the GPT-4 large language model, which has been linked to artificial intelligence. But whenever AI is mentioned, most people outside academia immediately think of popularized versions seen in movies, such as HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Skynet in the Terminator series, or Jarvis in the Iron Man movies. These examples, however, are closer to what's known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), the concept that a computer can learn how to perform a task in the same way a person or animal does. Once achieved, such a system could prove very useful in developing systems and processes able to proactively defend networks against cyberattacks.
