Researchers at the University of Missouri, led by Prasad Calyam, have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of cybersecurity. In a recent study, they found that advanced artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard, can pass certified ethical hacking exams. These AI-powered chatbots were tested using standard questions from a validated certified ethical hacking exam, and both were able to explain complex security concepts, such as man-in-the-middle attacks, and suggest measures to prevent them. While the study shows that these AI tools have the potential to contribute to ethical hacking, Calyam emphasizes that they should not be relied upon for complete protection, as they can provide incorrect answers. The research suggests that these AI tools can serve as a good starting point for individuals or small companies needing quick assistance with cybersecurity issues, and can also be used as training tools for those working in information technology.
