after interacting with a chatbot about climate change for weeks; US activists published screenshots of interactions with an AI-powered experimental Snapchat service which offered advice to a 13-year-old girl planning a sexual encounter with a 31 year old, and a child seeking to cover up bruises before a visit by protective services .
Different sectors need to be included “to make sure that AI isn’t just a thing that happens to them but that they are shaping the governance of it as it affects their sectors”. There are fears that politics has a recent track record of vulnerability to new threats. Mark Brakel is director of policy with the Future of Life Institute, a non-profit which aims to mitigate risk from technology – part funded by Elon Musk historically, and also benefiting from significant support from Vitalik Buterin, founder of cryptocurrency ethereum.
While the threat is vivid, security officials also say it has not yet featured as a primary risk on assessments shared with Ireland by international actors or friendly governments. It is yet to punch through to regularly circulated lists of the most pressing threats faced by the State. The real challenge, Browne says – while emphasising that there is no suggestion this is currently happening – is “what happens if tools and technologies develop at an exponential rate, and that the things used to defend networks – the processes, the tools – become redundant, essentially, and you’re caught within a technological revolution rather than evolution”.
