Understanding AI Package Hallucination: The latest dependency security threat

In this video, we explore AI package Hallucination. This threat is a result of AI generation tools hallucinating open-source packages or libraries that don't exist.
In this video, we explore why this happens and show a demo of ChatGPT creating multiple packages that don't exist. We also explain why this is a prominent threat and how malicious hackers could harness this new vulnerability for evil. It is the next evolution of Typo Squatting.

I work in an IA company, I have to say... GPT is flawed, it is just a step for something else. Hallucination = We don't know what would be the answer, we can tweak, but ultimately we are never 99% sure of the answer, and for a lot of use cases this is absolutely inacceptable. Most of our clients have a hard time tuning their setup.
