In The Wrong Hands, AI Can Mean New-Age Terrorism, Automated Cyber Attacks: Report
In a 100-page analysis, the experts outlined a rapid growth in cybercrime and the use of “bots" to interfere with news gathering and penetrate social media among a host of plausible scenarios in the next five to 10 years. “Our report focuses on ways in which people could do deliberate harm with AI," said Sean O hEigeartaigh, Executive Director of the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. The common practice, for example, of “phishing" — sending emails seeded with malware or designed to finagle valuable personal data — could become far more dangerous, the report detailed. Giant high-tech companies — leaders in AI — “have lots of incentives to make sure that AI is safe and beneficial," the report said. Contributors to the new report — entitled “The Malicious Use of AI: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation" — also include experts from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Center for a New American Security, and OpenAI, a leading non-profit research company.
