JAKARTA - The presence of AI technology from ChatGPT in November 2022 sparked a lot of debate and discussion regarding the real effects of this neural network technology and revealed the potential of AI to disrupt the industry globally.

At the annual Asia Pacific (APAC) Cyber ​​Security Weekend, a conference entitled “Deus Ex Machina: Setting Safe Instructions for Intelligent Machines,” Kaspersky dives deeper into the overlap between AI and the future of cybersecurity.

The conference, which was attended by anti-malware researchers, global law enforcement agencies, Computer Emergency Response Teams and senior executives from various sectors, discussed how cybercriminals can exploit ChatGPT to enhance phishing and malware attacks.

Kaspersky's Cyber ​​Immunity concept implies that most types of cyberattacks are ineffective and cannot affect critical system functions in the usage scenarios defined at the design stage.

"In an age where technology can be used by both good people and bad people, traditional cybersecurity is no longer enough. We need to revolutionize our defenses to ensure we create a safer digital world," said Eugene Kaspersky, CEO of Kaspersky in a statement.

The APAC region is at the forefront of the AI ​​revolution. A new study by IDC reveals that AI spending in the country will double in the next three years.

To increase efficiency and reduce dependence on technical skills, most local companies in APAC will also implement AI across business technology categories within three years.

“Enterprises realized how to harness the power of AI to improve the efficiency of their assets, improve the quality of their products and even to streamline their supply chains for better profitability,” said Adrian Hia, Managing Director for Asia Pacific at Kaspersky.

Furthermore, the IDC report also highlights that China, Australia, and India are the three biggest leaders in AI spending in the region.
