First time that I heard about an AI trying to spot a malware used for crypto jacking. It says it also focus on supercomputers but maybe it could also be implemented for desktop as well. Good if they could develop and make improvements, but they admit that this graph based approach couldn't capture all scenarios.
How hard can it be to detect that you computer is under full load even when idle or just doing some non-intensive tasks? Your fans will get louder, you might notice some heat, your performance will slow down.
And even for supercomputers, I doubt that AI is requires or is the best solution. They too can measure their load and detect suspicious processes, and if that is not enough, they can target crypto mining specifically, as it should leave a specific signature.
It might not be hard for people who are really into it, but my father found out that his PC was mining Monero or something months after it started (if I'm not mistaken). If you have an old PC, you might think that it just got worse at performing the tasks because it's old. Or the change in performance might be not that significant and you just don't notice it. So AI dedicated specifically to this task would be useful if they make it publicly available and affordable. What I'm wondering is whether it would interfere with mining a person might be doing willingly or some other high-load processes being targeted mistakenly and blocked by AI because it looked similar to mining to it. Anyway, it's a good initiative, but it won't necessarily be good at its job.
