Speaking at a press conference about the report, Meta’s Chief Information Security Officer, Guy Rosen, said that “ChatGPT is the new cryptocurrency” for attackers.
Rosen and other Meta executives said the company is preparing defenses against several potential abuses related to productive AI technologies like ChatGPT, which can quickly create human-like text, music and art.
