We've been hearing the 'astounding' benefits of
generative
Artificial Intelligence (AI) over the past couple of years and
how it has the potential to 'revolutionise" the world in
which we live.
In the race to embrace the technology, little attention has
focused on its more sinister potential.
But here it is...
Of course, AI has been around for a long time. This
'machine-learning' technology has been helpful, and
relatively harmless – for example, cars use AI in
'assisted parking' or 'assisted braking' to detect
the movement and space around the vehicle to 'help' the
driver.
Use of AI to
bully, sabotage and scam
But the new AI – 'generative AI – is next
level.
It uses algorithms to create content, including audio, code,
images, text, simulations, and videos.
