]> 2023-09-07T00:00:00-05:00 The public release of OpenAI's ChatGPT system eight months ago signaled an inflection point for AI technology and its applications. While these AI systems have well-known shortcomings, they have the potential to help in many ways. After describing the technology, I will report on a recent evaluation of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard ability to solve cybersecurity problems using two datasets designed to test students' knowledge: the Cybersecurity Concept Inventory (CCI) and the Cybersecurity Curriculum Assessment (CCA). The CCA results will be compared with those from a recent evaluation of 193 students from seven colleges and universities. Spoiler: one of the AI systems performed surprisingly well.
