JAKARTA - In addition to causing financial harm, it turns out that cyber attacks produced by artificial intelligence (AI) can also cause potential psychological hazards.

Recently, Vitaly Kamluk, Head of Research Center for Asia Pacific, Global Research and Analysis Team (GReAT) at Kaspersky discovered that, as cybercriminals used AI to launch attacks, they did not feel responsible for its impact.

Because according to him, AI will further obscure criminal acts of cybercriminals, because they are not the only ones to blame, but the AI.

Another psychological impact from AI that can affect the IT security team is "delegation of responsibility". Because, more and more processes and cybersecurity tools are automated into the network, humans may feel less responsible if cyber attacks occur, especially in the company's environment.

To that end, Kamluk shared several guidelines to safely embrace the benefits of AI:

Accessibility: We must limit anonymous access to real intelligent systems built and placed on very rich data volumes. We must store the resulting content history and identify how synthesized content is created.

Policy: The European Union has started discussions on the tagging of content produced with AI assistance. That way, users can at least have a quick and reliable way to detect AI-generated images, sounds, videos, or text. There will always be violators, but they will be minorities and must always run and hide and be overshadowed by punishment.

Education: The most effective thing for everyone is to create awareness about how to detect artificial content, how to validate it, and how to report possible abuse.

Schools must teach the AI concept, its difference to natural intelligence, and how reliable or damaged AI is with all its possibilities.

Some predict that AI will become the center of death, which will destroy human civilization. Some level C executives in large companies even stand up and call for a slowdown in AI to prevent the disaster," Kamluk said.

Kamluk also confirmed that the emergence of a generating AI, like most other technological breakthroughs, AI is a double-edged sword.

"We can always use it as long as we know how to set safe directions for this smart machine," he concluded.
