AI progress is leading to potential cybersecurity nightmares, particularly due to the miniaturization of Language Model (LLM) models.
The next wave of cybersecurity threats may arise not from increased performance of AI models, but from the shrinking size of these models.
As compression techniques improve, it is possible to have powerful AI models as small as 50mb, making it easier for criminals to distribute malicious agents.
To address these challenges, a rethinking of how operating systems run and access resources, along with improved security measures like sandboxing, will be crucial in safeguarding against potential cyber threats posed by miniaturized AI models.
