On 27 March, Europol issued a news release saying that its Europol Innovation Lab organised a number of workshops with subject matter experts from across Europol to explore how criminals can abuse large language models (LLM) such as ChatGPT, as well as how it may assist investigators in their daily work. Insights are compiled in Europol’s first Tech Watch Flash report which provides an overview on the potential misuse of ChatGPT, and offers an outlook on what may still be to come. It explains that a large language model (LLM) is a type of AI system that can process, manipulate, and generate text. It highlights 3 crime areas as amongst the many areas of concern identified by Europol’s experts.
