In this special Black Hat episode, Andrew Lohn and Micah Musser explain “Disinformation At Scale: Using GPT-3 Maliciously for Information Operations” - the double-edged sword of large language models.

The Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, or GPT-3, is an autoregressive language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text, created by OpenAI. In other words: “Autocomplete on steroids.” It is currently the largest and most powerful natural language model in the world, and can write realistic text from almost any genre.

In this episode, I discuss with guests Andrew Lohn and Micah Musser:

• How can GPT-3 be used to amplify disinformation?
• What are the implications GPT-3 has for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? Can GPT-3 be considered “creative”?
• What are the future trends for this technology, cybersecurity, and society?
• And… Did I use any GPT technology to write parts of this show notes? I guess we’ll never know for certain ;)
