Why AI Does Not Need to be Innovative to be Dangerous

Artificial intelligence (AI) does not need to be innovative to be dangerous, as it can still pose significant threats through its ability to optimize and automate existing techniques. While AI may not be able to replicate the creative and unconventional approaches of human hackers, it can still be used to launch effective attacks and exploit vulnerabilities.
Researchers have found that AI can be used to launch attacks, but its effectiveness is limited by its architecture. AI is optimized to predict the most likely outcome, making it poor at identifying statistical anomalies. Hackers, on the other hand, seek out low-probability flaws. AI can still be used to find complex vulnerabilities, but its probabilistic nature makes it unreliable for certain tasks. AI-assisted approaches can generate mostly reliable code, but pure AI-generated malware is plagued by hallucinations. The key to effective AI-powered attacks is minimalism and a low profile.
