Description

Example: "Intentional harms, by contrast, could result from users exploiting connectivity and agency for malicious purposes. For example, connecting a generative AI model to a web browser or email server could enable malicious users to ask the model to write code for novel malware or instruct the LLM to distribute malware via the internet."
