Global cybersecurity corporations Kaspersky said that as artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances, security threats targeting the entertainment industry—including live performances, games, and content—will increase.
Kaspersky stated accordingly through the Entertainment Industry Security Report (Security Bulletin) published on the day. The report analyzed, "AI is changing how people buy tickets for performances, watch movies, and enjoy games, while also changing how malicious actors attack these experiences," and "AI is entering a stage where it generates and imitates the industry's core products themselves, such as human-centered stories, performances, and visual experiences."
Kaspersky researchers cited the following as changes facing the entertainment industry in the AI era: ◇ the advancement of the illegal ticket market ◇ increased security risks due to the popularization of AI-based visual effects (VFX) ◇ the spread of attacks on content delivery networks ◇ exposure of harmful content to games and fan communities due to the ubiquity of AI creation tools, ◇ and the emergence of AI governance personnel overseeing the regulation and compliance of AI-produced content.
Lee Hyo-eun, head of Kaspersky Korea, said, "The entertainment industry is at an inflection point as AI use increases," and "studios and platforms should recognize AI as a key element of the attack surface and adopt proactive security strategies to protect creative asset and strengthen customer trust amid a changing environment."
