Adversarial misuse of generative AI: Analysis beyond the hype
Amidst the hype surrounding AI-driven cyber threats, what's actually happening in the wild? Join Google Threat Intelligence experts as they move beyond theoretical discussions of abuse of AI, drawing on real-world observations of how government-backed threat actors have attempted to misuse Google’s AI-powered assistant Gemini for cyber attacks and information operations. Our goal is to shed light on these activities with security professionals to raise awareness and enable stronger protections for all. Attendees will gain insights into: *Specific cases of attempted misuse of Gemini by Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, and Russian government backed actors. *How AI is being leveraged across various stages of cyberattacks, from initial reconnaissance to post-compromise activities. *In-depth analysis of government-backed threat activity and if it represents novel or unique AI-enabled attack or abuse techniques. Presenters: *Jamie Collier, Lead Threat Intelligence Advisor (Europe), Google Threat Intelligence Group *Aurora Blum, Threat Intel Analyst, Google Threat Intelligence Group *Bart Inglot, Security Engineer, Google Threat Intelligence Group
