Generative AI
This book will show how generative technology works and the drivers. It will also look at the applications – showing what various startupsand large companies are doing in the space. There will also be a look at the challenges and risk factors.During the past decade, companies have spent billions on AI. But the focus has been on applying the technology to predictions – which is known as analytical AI. It can mean that you receive TikTok videos that you cannot resist. Or analytical AI can fend against spam or fraud or forecast when a package will be delivered. While such things are beneficial, there is much more to AI. The next megatrend will be leveraging the technology to be creative. For example, you could take a book and an AI model will turn it into a movie – at very little cost. This is all part of generative AI. It’s still in the nascent stages but it is progressing quickly. Generative AI can already create engaging blog posts, social media messages, beautiful artwork and compelling videos.The potential for this technology is enormous. It will be useful for many categories like sales, marketing, legal, product design, code generation, and even pharmaceutical creation.What You Will LearnThe importance of understanding generative AIThe fundamentals of the technology, like the foundation and diffusion modelsHow generative AI apps workHow generative AI will impact various categories like the law, marketing/sales, gaming, product development, and code generation.The risks, downsides and challenges.Who This Book is ForProfessionals that do not have a technical background. Rather, the audience will be mostly those in Corporate America (such as managers) as well as people in tech startups, who will need an understanding of generative AI to evaluate the solutions.

Generative AI
The cybersecurity landscape is changing, for sure. For example, one of the oldest threat variants is that of Phishing. It evolved in the early 1990s, but even today it is still being used as a primary threat variant and has now become much more sophisticated, covert, and stealthy in nature. For example, it can be used to launch ransomware, social engineering, and extortion attacks.The advent of Generative AI is making this much worse. For example, a cyberattacker can now use something like ChatGPT to craft the content for Phishing emails that are so convincing that it is almost impossible to tell the difference between what is real and what is fake. This is also clearly evident in the use of deepfakes, where fake images of real people are replicated to create videos to lure unsuspecting victims to a fake website.But, Generative AI can also be used for the good also, to combat Phishing Attacks. This is the topic of this book. In this, we cover the following:A review of PhishingA review of AI, Neural Networks, and Machine LearningA review of Natural Language Processing, Generative AI, and the Digital PersonA proposed solution as to how Generative AI can combat Phishing Attacks, as they relate to Privileged Access accounts
