ChatGPT: A Threat Against the CIA Triad of Cyber Security

Abstract

The AI revolution has brought significant changes to society. AI-powered systems can analyze enormous amounts of data to optimize processes, improve accuracy, and cut costs. Nevertheless, addressing potential hazards and ethical issues related to AI enabled technologies, such as bias and job displacement, is essential. This paper presented an example of an AI revolution threatening cyber security, the ChatGPT. ChatGPT, a chatbot, can generate essays or code on demand. However, ChatGPT's security system can be circumvented or deceived to generate malicious content. Moreover, these AI enabled tools to have design issues, e.g., accuracy issues. As a result, ChatGPT can be accused of violating the confidentiality of information (privacy invasion), producing inaccurate information, and potentially facilitating attack tool generation that can compromise the availability principle of the CIA triad. This paper presents ChatGPT as a threat against the CIA triad principle by focusing on violating these principles.
