Modelos avançados de IA irão potencializar as capacidades de hacking, tornando mais fácil para criminosos acessar bancos de dados e roubar dados pessoais. Sistemas automatizados podem gerar golpes de phishing convincentes e escanear perfis de mídia social para roubar credenciais. Para combater isso, os especialistas recomendam implementar defesas automatizadas e seguir regras básicas de segurança na internet, como a autenticação de vários fatores e a exclusão de contas online não utilizadas.",
