Experts fear that AI may be used to do bad things
The development of artificial intelligence (AI) has drawn great attention in recent years, however, the potential risks among them have also caused the concern of many experts.
In the eyes of some experts, if the rapidly evolving AI technology is used maliciously in the near future, it will not only create malicious fake news, make cyber attacks, and even destroy infrastructure.
In a report entitled “Malicious use of artificial intelligence: prediction, prevention, and mitigation,” 26 experts from the field of artificial intelligence, network technology and security warned that if the malicious use of AI technology cannot be effectively controlled and controlled, in the coming years, Cybercrime will increase dramatically.

The report said that if the AI technology continues to grow so rapidly, the current global digital and physical defense mechanisms will soon be overwhelmed by AI technology.
The report predicts that in the next five to ten years, AI technology will have a more comprehensive understanding of human behavior, emotions and ideas and a larger database at the same time. As a result, it is possible to create products that are hard to identify Fake news is widely circulated on social media to influence and even manipulate elections and other political events through social media and advertising.
In terms of cyber attacks, this report argues that with the power of AI, cybercriminals will be able to achieve more sophisticated crime. In addition, the report also mentioned that AI technology may also hijack drones and self-driving cars, hijacked drones, and self-driving cars may even become weapons.
The reason why the AI technology will be used maliciously in the future will have such serious consequences. An important reason is that AI technology has come into people’s daily life. People’s way of doing things is recorded in different forms by the AI, forming a huge database that offers the potential for the above-mentioned precision crime.
Dr. Sean O hEigeartaigh, one of the authors of the report and the Center for Crisis Research at the University of Cambridge, pointed out that AI is a technology that changes rules and predicts what might happen in the next five to 10 years. He believes that if AI is maliciously used, it will threaten people’s real life.
Although no specific response was proposed, the report urged policymakers and researchers to work together to prepare for possible malicious use of AI and urged developers to find ways to prevent malicious use of AI technology.
In Silicon Valley, where AI is the most widely used, giants have significantly different attitudes. Space X’s founder, Musk, has been concerned about the threat of over-aggressive AI technology, but Facebook CEO Zuckerberg is optimistic about AI technology. Microsoft’s Bill Gates is also “relieved” about AI, Think AI technology will make more products and service with less labor in the future.
