OpenAI announced a new AI model called Astra, capable of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in computer systems without the need for human intervention at each stage of the process.
The company classifies Astra as a maximum risk model in cybersecurity, which reflects the destructive potential that the technology possesses in the context of cyberattacks.
The model will be launched alongside a monitoring system that aims to halt actions considered unauthorized, seeking to mitigate the risks associated with its use.
This initiative emerges in the context of the continuous development of AI capabilities in the field of cybersecurity, where the automation of tasks traditionally performed by human specialists represents simultaneously an opportunity and a challenge in terms of security.
