I will read this over the weekend. Hopefully we can discuss is here. AI is surging on SemiWiki and throughout the semiconductor ecosystem so I think it would be an interesting conversation to have:
A new report authored by over two-dozen experts on the implications of emerging technologies is sounding the alarm bells on the ways artificial intelligence could enable new forms of cybercrime, physical attacks, and political disruption over the next five to ten years.
The 100-page report, titled “The Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence: Forecasting, Prevention, and Mitigation,” boasts 26 experts from 14 different institutions and organizations, including Oxford University’s Future of Humanity Institute, Cambridge University’s Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, Elon Musk’s OpenAI, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The report builds upon a two-day workshop held at Oxford University back in February of last year. In the report, the authors detail some of the ways AI could make things generally unpleasant in the next few years, focusing on three security domains of note—the digital, physical, and political arenas—and how the malicious use of AI could upset each of these.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities are growingat an unprecedented rate. These technologies have many widelybeneficial applications, ranging from machine translation to medicalimage analysis. Countless more such applications are beingdeveloped and can be expected over the long term. Less attentionhas historically been paid to the ways in which artificial intelligencecan be used maliciously. This report surveys the landscape ofpotential security threats from malicious uses of artificial intelligencetechnologies, and proposes ways to better forecast, prevent, andmitigate these threats. We analyze, but do not conclusively resolve,the question of what the long-term equilibrium between attackers anddefenders will be. We focus instead on what sorts of attacks we arelikely to see soon if adequate defenses are not developed...
