I’m glad we now have a study to point to! “Automated Spear Phishing at scale” has been a common talking point regarding current risks from AI, and it always seemed strange to me that I hadn’t heard about this strategy being validated. This paper shows that the commonly-shared intuition about this risk was correct… and I’m still confused about why I haven’t yet heard of this strategy being maximally exploited by scammers.
Thanks for your feedback! It’s just a matter of time before scammers maximize their use of AI. Hopefully, the defense community can use this time to optimize our head start. Stay tuned for our coming work!
