Risk profile
How this risk is described and categorized.
"GPAIs can be used to aid in the automated discovery of software vulnerabilities [33]. This can empower malicious actors, making their cyberattacks more effi- cient and potentially more damaging. This type of automation allows attackers to expand the scale of their operations at a low cost, increasing the impact of their actions. New malware can be developed automatically, or the known vulnerabilities can be exploited to create more sophisticated attacks."
