Researchers have developed a cyber worm that works with artificial intelligence. The worm could infiltrate an AI-powered email assistant to steal data from emails, spread spam, and bypass certain procedures.

Many researchers warn that generative artificial intelligence worms infiltrating the world's systems pose a major security risk. This research, conducted within controlled testing environments and not within publicly available email assistant applications, coincides with the development of large linguistic models (LLMs) into multimedia entities, capable of generating images and videos in addition to text.
