AI Armageddan Is Looking More and More Likely

<< < (3/3)

dietert1:
I am wondering whether one can train a neural network to be a hacker and enter into military systems. Will the military use AI to avoid this? If some of all this AI wants to do harm, how far can it get?

Regards, Dieter

SiliconWizard:
What looks more likely at this point is myriads of people talking about it - usually to say nothing interesting except that it will be a revolution, what a great insight! - thus contributing to making the value of Open AI, MS and Google skyrocket (mainly, and then a large number of silly startups that will raise millions and will die in a couple years.) :popcorn:

Infraviolet:
I would tend to say warnings of an AI armaggedon are all a load of hyped up junk, AI really isn't going to have the capability in the near future, even if it had the intelligence (which it won't have soon either) to be independently malicious.

Far more worying is the use of AI as a tool by authoritarian regimes around the world (Putin, Jinping, Trudeau, ...) and various policing and espionage agencies around the world for evil purposes. This isn't AI going rogue, it is AI doing exactly what it is told, by rogue governments or rogue branches of governments. Consider if Putin had AI systems to aid in attacking opponents and peace protestors, if Jinping had it to make his growing social credit system even more intrusive and needing of less manpower to run it, if Trudeau had been able to turn it against the peaceful trucker protests, if Iran were able to use it against the womens' rebellion for basic human freedoms, if various monopolistic corporations used it to purposely make products harder to repair or make people more dependent on their subscription services, ... none of those would be AI doing something accidental.

I saw recently the article below, which has a good last section ("So are we safe then?")  about how a human run dystopia with AI enforcement is far more plausible than an AI itself being the danger.
