How does Microsoft respond to the misuse of AI technologies by threat actors?
When Microsoft detects the misuse of its AI applications by identified malicious threat actors, it takes appropriate actions such as disabling accounts, terminating services, or limiting access to resources.

Threat actors are using LLMs for various purposes, including reconnaissance to gather information on potential victims, enhancing scripting techniques for malware development, and assisting in social engineering efforts.
