Malicious Uses of Artificial Intelligence, Part 1

A recent report released
at https://maliciousaireport.com/ on the potential
malicious uses for artificial intelligence brings us sharply to
the present. 

In the TEOTWAWKI episodes on AI, we focused on "hard AI" - the
potentials for chaos and rapid change if artificial intelligence
becomes "truly sentient". But in the shorter term,
machine-learning algorithms and increasing automation are already
impacting all of our lives to a greater extent. Recent efforts at
electoral manipulation, for example, exploited aspects of the
algorithms used by social media companies. Meanwhile, as we turn
over the wheel to self-driving cars and the economy to automated
industries, we are changing the nature of society - and the
potential risks of abuse.

These episodes will talk about the near-term potential for
machine learning and AI to be used maliciously over the next
decade or two.
