Preparing for Malicious Uses of AI
The disturbing thing about this paper to me - flashy though it may be - is what they left out rather than what they kept in.<p>OpenAI appears to only be thinking of the crimes-against-individuals segment of malicious AI, rather then the crimes-against-humanity type of malicious AI that the surveillance advertising corporations who are supporting OpenAI are building.<p>I am far, far less worried about an assassin&#x27;s drones using AI to find a politician in a crowd than I am about Facebook using pictures of me that other people have posted and tagged me in, so that my face is used to track my movements, and the movements of every other human on the planet, everywhere we go, and selling that information to everybody who wants a copy, and giving it away at the request of the local police.<p>I&#x27;m more concerned about Google using AI to mine every conversation I&#x27;ve ever had or my browsing history to classify me as a dissident before I apply for a visa to travel to China or the United States, or as a deadbeat before I apply for a bank loan, or sick before I apply for insurance, or as unrehabilitatable before I apply for parole.<p>The hackers-on-steroids narrative is a smokescreen for fully automated corporate fascism.
