If you dare, join us on a journey through the horror halls of artificial intelligence! This machine ghost, which mimics human abilities such as reasoning, learning, planning, and creativity, has lived in technology for more than half a century. I’m doing it. Propulsion efficiency In the workplace and in people’s daily lives, AI has the power to relieve people of time-consuming and boring tasks. Also, reduce human error Save lives, time, and money in data entry, healthcare, and manufacturing. However, despite its many benefits, AI poses many risks to people, industries, and humanity as a whole.
zombies eat your brain
Like zombies starving your brain, AI-powered recommendation systems are slowly eating away at your mind by making you scroll endlessly on social media platforms. These algorithms work by feeding you your own interests and biases.which personalizes your experience and keeps you online by exposing you only to stories we think you’ll be interested in, but which in some cases can lead to harmful or problematic content. . This is one of the reasons why so many people are addicted to social media. Because it uses your interests as a weapon and constantly gives you content that you won’t want to look away from. This is shown as Especially harmful to children and young usersThis is because their brains are still developing and have more difficulty controlling their impulses than adults.
Frankenstein’s Monster: Deepfake
Deepfakes, like Frankenstein’s monsters made up of stolen legs, arms, and faces, are the hideous creations of mad (data) scientists. These AI-generated illusions can imitate voices and faces with terrifying accuracy. Human audio, images, and videos fraudulently generated by AI. Non-consensual images can also be a form of abuse and sexual exploitation. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to this type of AI abuse. Deepfakes are often created for nefarious purposes, such as: Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM), revenge porndisseminating false information and damaging the reputation of any person.
weaving a web of lies and misinformation
Spreading misinformation is nothing new, but the prevalence and accessibility of AI has made it easier to create misleading and fake content that can be used to amplify and “prove” false claims. That too Helps amplify misinformation Create an echo chamber on your social media platform by creating an echo chamber. There, you continually show people similar content to increase engagement and amplify and strengthen what they already believe. This was most noticeable observed in recent elections around the worldsuch as when deepfakes or misinformation influence voting procedures. Biden robocalls. It is even Influencing candidate narratives and voter sentiment Due to the proliferation of deepfakes. AI systems can weave a complex web of lies, and it can be difficult for unsuspecting individuals to decipher truth from fiction.
vampires suck your data
AI tools may seem incredibly smart, but that’s because they use and mimic human intelligence and are trained on large datasets. Every time you query Chat GPT or generate an image in Midjourney, you consciously or unconsciously emit personal data. This data is collected in the following ways: Cookies accepted by your browser When you use AI applications and websites; and Sending or retrieving data sent through an AI system (questions, requests, feedback, etc.). This data may be used to develop targeted advertising, promotional campaigns for products and services, or may be sold to third party companies that profit from the data.
A hall of mirrors that reflects prejudice
Distorting the truth and reflecting a distorted view of reality is not just a clever trick of mirrored entertainment venues. AI systems can present a distorted view of reality by amplifying biases that negatively impact marginalized groups of people. Technology is a reflection of its creators, just as humans have conscious and unconscious biases. Development processes often include these biasesimpacting vulnerable groups in the adoption and use of these systems. As a result of the biases introduced into these systems, real people have lived out horrific stories. Brown University student incorrectly identified by AI As a suspect in the Sri Lankan bombing. Surveillance and police systems using AI also exacerbate prejudice against people of color.
Grim Reaper (job)
One of the most frightening risks that AI poses to people is the risk of unemployment. As AI rapidly advances and acquires new capabilities, many people are wondering if their jobs will be reaped and replaced by automation. The immediate threat is causing many to reconsider their professions and has already forced many to look for new jobs. Automation will replace key roles in food and customer service industry.
Trick or treat?
When you work with artificial intelligence, you never know if you’re going to get a trick or a reward. While AI can provide solutions to many of the world’s problems, it can also create risks and pose threats to people. At Partnership on AI, we work to ensure the responsible development, deployment, and use of these systems. We work to reduce risk, answer important questions about AI, and develop solutions that put people and society at the center. To stay up to date on our work, Newsletter.
