Connecticut's CISO, Jeff Brown, expresses concern over 'dark side' AI apps like BadGPT and FraudGPT, which are used to create sophisticated phishing emails and malware.

The rise of these uncensored AI models has led to an increase in phishing attacks and the advancement of deepfake technology, presenting a significant cybersecurity risk.

While AI can enhance cybersecurity defenses, there's a pressing need for more investment in training, awareness programs, and advanced cybersecurity tools to combat these threats.

Brown advocates for a collaborative approach between government and private sectors to share information and strategies in tackling the challenges posed by the malicious use of AI.

Despite the risks, AI is still considered crucial for the timely detection and response to cybersecurity threats.
