The danger isn&amp;#x27;t (or isn&amp;#x27;t yet anyway) that AI is going to develop will and agency and oppose us. The danger is that AI is a force multiplier in whatever you do because it allows the intelligent to automate formerly rote tasks.&lt;p&gt;For example, take self-driving cars. Formerly all you could do if you had a remote execution exploit was smash running cars into ditches or oncoming traffic. Bad, but not the end of the world. Now you can take 200k Teslas and &lt;i&gt;very easily&lt;/i&gt; target every gas station or other soft target in the developed world. (I&amp;#x27;m actually concerned about this, see &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.zachaysan.com&amp;#x2F;cars&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.zachaysan.com&amp;#x2F;cars&lt;/a&gt; for an, admittedly long, take on the matter.)&lt;p&gt;The same is true with AI everywhere. Don&amp;#x27;t read individual Twitter accounts, scan them all, build a data model to target the influenceable influencers. Iterate.&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t try to get your honeypot to date the head of Goldman Sachs, use data science to figure out which 1000 25 year olds have a good shot at heading it up in 10 years.&lt;p&gt;The cyber game &amp;#x2F; international relations is about to get much more extreme. Offence is so much easier than defence and AI is turning every little touch of exhaust data or device into a tool of war or espionage.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>AI is going to supercharge surveillance</title><url>https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/23/16907238/artificial-intelligence-surveillance-cameras-security</url></story>

For example, using AI and the government&amp;#x27;s ID database, crosswalk cameras are now able to facially identify &amp;quot;chronic j-walkers.&amp;quot; [1] The concerning part of this is the implication that these profiles don&amp;#x27;t go away. In the status quo, watch lists already exist, but I&amp;#x27;m afraid that as AI technology becomes more accessible it will only further increase abuse and discrimination against &amp;quot;potential offenders&amp;quot; identified by the system.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.wsj.com&amp;#x2F;articles&amp;#x2F;the-all-seeing-surveillance-state-feared-in-the-west-is-a-reality-in-china-1498493020&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.wsj.com&amp;#x2F;articles&amp;#x2F;the-all-seeing-surveillance-sta...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>AI is going to supercharge surveillance</title><url>https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/23/16907238/artificial-intelligence-surveillance-cameras-security</url></story>
