Abstract
The powers of OpenAI's groundbreaking AI language model, ChatGPT, startled millions of users when it was released in November. But for many, the tool's ability to further accomplish the goals of evil actors swiftly replaced their initial excitement with significant concerns. ChatGPT gives malicious actors additional ways to possibly compromise sophisticated cybersecurity software. Leaders in a sector that is currently suffering from a 38% global spike in data breaches in 2022 must acknowledge the rising influence of AI and take appropriate action. Cybercriminals are writing more complex and focused business email compromise (BEC) and other phishing emails with the assistance of generative artificial intelligence technologies like ChatGPT. This study's conclusions demonstrate how quickly AI-based threats are developing, particularly in terms of their number, speed, and complexity.

How ChatGPT Can Be Used as a Defense Mechanism for Cyber Attacks
