AI-enabled future crime

DT #47 — August 30, 2020

‍Related: Caldwell et al. wrote a paper on AI-enabled future crime for Crime Science, a journal associated with University College London. They think the highest-risk possibilities are: audio/video impersonation (e.g. deepfakes, again see DT #23), driverless vehicles as weapons, tailored phishing, disrupting AI-controlled systems (like the Facebook stuff above), large-scale blackmail, and AI-authored fake news. Burglar bots rank as low-risk and killer robots rank as medium-risk—personally I’d rank killer drones (bad title, good 7-minute sci-fi) above those two.
