The Adversarial Use of Generative AI (GenAI) Threat Intelligence Product (TIP) Series Survey

In 2024, FINRA began publishing Threat Intelligence Products (TIPs), including a series focused on the adversarial use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). For your reference, all tips in the GenAI series are available here. This brief survey (estimated completion time: 3–5 minutes) will help us understand how the GenAI TIPs have been used and what additional information would be most helpful for your firm. All responses are anonymous.
