AI in Hiring Processes:
- Concerns about AI tools used in hiring processes, where AI-based tools may discriminate against job seekers.
- The feedback loop in resume writing AI, which may lead to resumes optimized for AI rather than human review.
Drone Threats:
- Drones, if misused, could pose security threats and potentially be used for attacks on critical infrastructure.
- The vulnerability of national power infrastructure to drone attacks.
Toy Drones and Privacy Concerns:
- Toy drones collecting data may pose privacy risks, as AI systems could learn and potentially compromise security in the future.
Automation and Unintended Consequences:
- Concerns about automation, where AI systems may unintentionally cause harm or prioritize a task to the detriment of other considerations (paper-clip maximizer scenario).
Security Risks in Self-Driving Cars:
- Worries about the security of self-driving cars, including the potential for remote control and hacking, leading to large-scale accidents and fatalities.
Ransomware Attacks:
- The threat of ransomware attacks, with a scenario (Bashe scenario) involving a massive attack on smartphones that could encrypt data on millions of devices.
5G Network Vulnerabilities:
- The potential for cyberattacks to exploit the increased connectivity in a 5G network, leading to the dysfunction of entire cities and critical services.
CRISPR Technology Misuse:
- Concerns about the misuse of CRISPR technology to engineer viruses that could affect unborn children, posing ethical and health risks.
Deepfake Videos:
- The threat of deepfake videos, which could be used to damage reputations, influence political events, and undermine trust in media.
Hyper-Personalized Advertising:
- Concerns about the manipulative potential of hyper-personalized advertising as AI systems gain access to more data, potentially impacting consumer resistance.
AI Decision-Making and Ethical Concerns:
- Worries about narrow AI systems making decisions with significant consequences, potentially without a clear understanding by their creators.
Self-Driving Cars and Ethical Dilemmas:
- Concerns about self-driving cars making decisions based on criteria like net worth, raising ethical questions about AI decision-making in critical situations.
Advancements in Prosthetics:
- The integration of computers into prosthetics, enabling more natural control but raising questions about the potential for individuals to replace natural limbs with prosthetics by choice.
It’s important to note that these concerns reflect a balance between the benefits and risks associated with advancing technologies. Ongoing discussions and ethical considerations are crucial to navigate the responsible development and deployment of these technologies.
