Abstract

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) misuse refers to the use of AI systems and tools for harmful, unethical or unlawful purposes. This includes the misuse of well-known platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Grok, Midjourney and Runway, to facilitate deviant activities, spread disinformation, enable abuse, or support acts of terrorism. It also includes the emergence of new AI tools specifically built for malicious intent, such as FraudGPT, WormGPT, Deepfake 3D Pro and DeepNude Pro, which are designed to assist in activities including fraud, hacking, social engineering, impersonation, and deepfake pornographic content.
