GPAI assisted impersonation

Sub-category
Risk Domain

Using AI systems to gain a personal advantage over others such as through cheating, fraud, scams, blackmail or targeted manipulation of beliefs or behavior. Examples include AI-facilitated plagiarism for research or education, impersonating a trusted or fake individual for illegitimate financial benefit, or creating humiliating or sexual imagery.

"GPAI outputs are not always correctly detected as AI-generated across multiple modalities (text, images, audio, video). A malicious actor can use GPAI outputs directly when communicating, or use AI-informed details to help construct a convincing impersonation (e.g., forging of supporting documents). Even if future countermeasures prove potent enough to detect GPAI-generated content, the risk remains if the countermeasures are not well known, or difficult to access."(p. 48)
