The whole MIT / @GossiTheDog malware study saga is so funny, because aside from the paper absolutely being crazy AI marketing FUD, there’s a crack of accidental admission about the fact that what the industry been hyping this whole time as 📣✨AI✨📣 is just sparkling ML and polymorphism.
like they -can’t have it both ways-. Either AI is the new world changing tech hype, or it’s just been 20 year old technology with an improved UI and slightly better natural language processing.
Anyway everything Kevin and @malwaretech said is absolutely spot on and I don’t need to reiterate it. Go read their posts.

The paper is absolutely ridiculous. It describes almost every major ransomware group as using AI - without any evidence (it's also not true, I monitor many of them). It even talks about Emotet (which hasn't existed for many years) as being AI driven. It cites things like CISA reports for GenAI usage.. but CISA never said AI anywhere.
