Alexey Khitrov, Founder & President, ID R&D, said “The launch of GPT-4 by OpenAI onto the market heralds a new pace for the advancement of generative software. With enhanced scope to emulate human-level performance in academic scenarios, the refinement of the technology is truly impressive, but these improved capabilities also offer cybercriminals more ways to make their fraud operations more effective and scalable.”

He adds, “Augmented language processing means that written responses used for fraud purposes can become more convincing. This will make it harder for targeted victims to discern whether they are interacting with human or machine in real-time, and if they are being deceived by sophisticated phishing or vishing attempts, especially as automated services are popularised and trained AI voice and video becomes more compelling.”
