Boffins come up with AI worms

Fear is the mind-killer

A team of boffins has made one of the first AI worms - which can spread from one system to another, nicking data or dropping viruses on the way.

Cornell Tech researcher Ben Nassi said his team had given the world a whole new thing to worry about.

Nassi and his mates named the Morris II worm after the original Morris computer worm that caused chaos on the Internet in 1988.

The research shows how the AI worm can target an AI email helper to pinch data from emails and send junk messages by breaking some security rules in ChatGPT and Gemini.

AI worms haven't been seen in the wild yet, but many experts say they are a potential security risk.
