The Rise of Dark AI & Malicious LLMs

The Rise of Dark AI & Malicious LLMs

Artificial intelligence is powering a new wave of innovation, but it's also fueling a darker reality: the rise of 'Dark AI.' From hyper-realistic deepfakes to perfectly crafted phishing scams, how are cybercriminals weaponising this technology, and how can businesses and individuals protect themselves?

Sergey Lozhkin, Head of Kaspersky's Global Research & Analysis Team for APAC, joins us to break down this emerging threat landscape. He explains how Dark AI enhances existing threats, the dangers of unapproved AI tools in the workplace, and why employee education is now more critical than ever.

We discuss:

  • What "Dark AI" is and how cybercriminals are using it to create malware and scams.

  • Why AI is both a "shield" for defenders and a "sword" for attackers.

  • The growing threat of sophisticated, AI-powered phishing and deepfakes.

  • The risks of unapproved AI tools and malicious browser extensions in the workplace.

  • Why strong cybersecurity basics and employee education are the best defense.

For business leaders and IT managers, this is an essential deep dive into the new frontier of cyber threats.
