00:00 Canada's top cybersecurity official says hackers and propagandists use artificial intelligence
00:06 to create malicious software and spread disinformation online.
00:09 Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity head Sami Khouri says his agency had seen cyber criminals
00:14 do this through convincing phishing emails.
00:17 In recent months, several cyber watchdog groups published reports warning about the hypothetical
00:22 risks of AI.
00:24 A former hacker also recently said he had discovered a "large language model" trained
00:29 on malicious material and asked it to draft a convincing attempt to trick someone into
00:33 making a cash transfer.
00:35 Khouri says that while the use of AI to draft malicious code is still in its early stages,
00:40 there's concern over how quickly AI models are evolving.
