This can include actions such as creating deepfakes, automating cyber attacks, violating privacy, generating misleading information, or manipulating audiences. AI Misuse raises ethical concerns, as it can lead to significant societal impacts, including the erosion of trust in information, threats to personal security, and the amplification of existing biases.
