I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to predict that artificial intelligence will affect every aspect of our society. Not by doing new things. But mostly by doing things that are already being done by humans, perfectly competently.
Replacing humans with AIs isn’t necessarily interesting. But when an AI takes over a human task, the task changes.
In particular, there are potential changes over four dimensions: Speed, scale, scope and sophistication. The problem with AIs trading stocks isn’t that they’re better than humans—it’s that they’re faster. But computers are better at chess and Go because they use more sophisticated strategies than humans. We’re worried about AI-controlled social media accounts because they operate on a superhuman scale...

Source: securityboulevard.com – Author: Cameron Delfin Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing numerous sectors, but its integration into cybersecurity is particularly transformative. AI enhances threat detection, automates responses, and predicts potential security breaches, offering a proactive approach to cybersecurity. However, it also introduces new challenges, such as AI-driven attacks and the complexities of securing AI systems. […]

Shadow AI, the internal
use of AI tools and services without the enterprise oversight teams expressly
knowing about it (ex. IT, legal, cybersecurity, compliance, and privacy teams, just to name a few), is becoming a problem!
Workers are flocking to use 3rd party AI services
(ex. websites like ChatGPT) but also there are often savvy technologists who
are importing models and building internal AI systems (it really is not that
difficult) without telling the enterprise ops teams. Both situations are
increasing and many organizations are blind to the risks.
According to a recent Cyberhaven
report:
Now is the time to get ahead of this problem.
1. Establish policies for use and
development/deployment
2. Define and communicate an AI Ethics posture
3. Incorporate cybersecurity/privacy/compliance
teams early into such programs
4. Drive awareness and compliance by including
these AI topics in the employee/vendor training
Overall, the goal is to build awareness and
collaboration. Leveraging AI can bring tremendous benefits, but should be done
in a controlled way that aligns with enterprise oversight requirements.

This is another attack that convinces the AI to ignore road signs:
Due to the way CMOS cameras operate, rapidly changing light from fast flashing diodes can be used to vary the color. For example, the shade of red on a stop sign could look different on each line depending on the time between the diode flash and the line capture.
The result is the camera capturing an image full of lines that don’t quite match each other. The information is cropped and sent to the classifier, usually based on deep neural networks, for interpretation. Because it’s full of lines that don’t match, the classifier doesn’t recognize the image as a traffic sign...
