The Impact of Future LLM Developments Recent significant breakthroughs in the development of LLMs can be attributed to two key factors: + Rapid advancements in supercomputers and deep learning algorithms + Availability of massive datasets has allowed researchers to train their models on the vast input of information needed With LLMs now widely available and accessible, there are multiple avenues in which this technology could be leveraged - that could increase the threat posed by criminals and the resulting impact on law enforcement. The integration of LLMs with other AI technologies could make them even more formidable tools. For example, LLM- powered chatbots could be combined with generative AI technologies that can generate synthetic media, such as highly convincing deepfakes. This would make it even easier for criminals to conduct phishing, commit fraud, and spread disinformation. New AI bots are leveraging LLMs in a more autonomous way and thus could help criminals streamline their illicit activities and scale them up even faster. Auto-GPT, which uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, can take a broad goal inputted by a user and break it down into sub-tasks and execute each one – for example by reading documents, searching the internet, creating spreadsheets, and even downloading software – to produce the desired output without any further human input. Auto-GPT is designed to problem-solve, and thus handle more complex and multi-step projects autonomously. Another possibility is the emergence of “dark LLMs”, which could be hosted on the dark web to provide a chatbot without any ethical safeguards 6 . As AI technology advances, it is crucial for law enforcement to remain at the cutting edge of these developments. Taking a proactive approach will allow them to anticipate and prevent misuse by criminals while leveraging the potential benefits that these advancements offer.
