What is the true potential impact of artificial intelligence on cybersecurity?

#artificialintelligence

Will artificial intelligence become clever enough to upend computer security? AI is already surprising the world of art by producing masterpieces in any style on demand. If AIs can act like a bard while delivering the comprehensive power of the best search engines, why can't they shatter security protocols, too? The answers are complex, rapidly evolving, and still murky. AI makes some parts of defending computers against attack easier.


Washington Vows To Tackle AI, As Tech Titans and Critics Descend

#artificialintelligence

When Sen. Chris Murphy watched the video "A.I. Dilemma," he saw a familiar face. Tristan Harris, a tech ethicist well-known among lawmakers for ringing the alarm about the harmful effects of social networks, was now arguing that artificial intelligence represents a potentially catastrophic advance - riskier perhaps to human survival than the advent of nuclear weapons. The video's message - which has been embraced by some tech luminaries like Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak - resonated with Murphy (D-Conn.), who quickly fired off a tweet. We aren't ready," the senator warned.


How AI Is Changing Cybersecurity--Pros and Cons - Eduaz

#artificialintelligence

As a CTO with over a decade and a half of experience in the ever-changing field of cybersecurity, I've witnessed the enormous impact that artificial intelligence (AI) has had on the broad technological landscape. In addition, I have seen how AI-based solutions have emerged as an important aspect of improving processes in a variety of fields and disciplines over the years. The capacity of AI-based machine learning (ML) models to recognize patterns and make data-driven decisions and inferences represents a highly innovative strategy for rapidly identifying malware, directing incident response, and even anticipating potential security breaches. AI's role in cybersecurity, how it can be used to improve corporate and user security, and its limitations. Data is being generated at an exponential rate in the modern era of digitization, and an increasing amount of metadata is being saved or received online, either directly or indirectly. Furthermore, in order for data to reach its intended location or be used for specific purposes, it is frequently necessary to send it across a network or store it in a specific database or server.


Navy sees AI in its future but admits 'we still have a lot to learn'

FOX News

Kirk Lippold joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss China's latest show of force near Taiwan and calls on Biden to make sure China is deterred from ever making an attack. A top U.S. Navy leader said last week that artificial intelligence capabilities are already being built into the U.S. fleet but said it will likely take some time before they are comfortable handing over full operational control to an AI system. At a Navy League event in Maryland last week, Chief of Naval Operations Michael Gilday said the Navy has more than 50,000 nautical miles under its belt of "transit in an autonomous mode." "We have a high degree of confidence in the AI's ability to follow rules and to avoid traffic, to stay within the channel when required," he said. "We've made transits from the Gulf Coast of the United States repeatedly through the Panama Canal and up around โ€“ to Port Hueneme, California."

G42 Teams Up with Microsoft to Explore Acceleration of UAE's Digital Transformation

#artificialintelligence

G42 and Microsoft announced their intention to collaborate on the development of public sector and industry focused solutions that leverage Microsoft's partner ecosystem and cloud capabilities. These solutions will benefit UAE organisations to address citizen and customer needs. Formalised in a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that was signed at G42's premises, the agreement will allow both organizations to further explore joint business development and marketing opportunities across a variety of areas G42 cover including healthcare, energy, public sector digital transformation, financial services, climate action, and beyond. G42 Cloud will work closely with Microsoft to enable joint solutions to be developed and deployed securely and in compliance with regulatory requirements. Naim Yazbeck, General Manager of Microsoft UAE commented: "Organisations globally, especially in the public sector, are increasingly looking for customised cloud solutions that offer additional choice and flexibility. I am very excited about the potential that a collaboration with G42 could bring to the UAE, and I look forward to combining Microsoft's focus on resiliency, agility and security with G42s unique capabilities and vision."


This $6 trillion problem threatens to push inflation even higher

FOX News

Stanford Graduate School of Business lecturer Dave Dodson claims the Biden admin's handling of the economy is to'tinker' with it'like it's a video game' on'Your World with Neil Cavuto.' Following the 2008 global financial crisis, the Federal Reserve created trillions of dollars to ease financial conditions and keep banks afloat. Many economists predicted record inflation would result. But Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke pulled an ace out of his sleeve. He paid banks to park much of that money at the Fed and limit its inflationary effects.


Satisfying Real-world Goals with Dataset Constraints

Neural Information Processing Systems

The goal of minimizing misclassification error on a training set is often just one of several real-world goals that might be defined on different datasets. For example, one may require a classifier to also make positive predictions at some specified rate for some subpopulation (fairness), or to achieve a specified empirical recall. Other real-world goals include reducing churn with respect to a previously deployed model, or stabilizing online training. In this paper we propose handling multiple goals on multiple datasets by training with dataset constraints, using the ramp penalty to accurately quantify costs, and present an efficient algorithm to approximately optimize the resulting non-convex constrained optimization problem. Experiments on both benchmark and real-world industry datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.


Voters should be 'scared s---less' about 2024 election rigging because of AI: expert

FOX News

FOX Business correspondent Lydia Hu has the latest on jobs at risk as AI further develops on Americas Newsroom. Advanced artificial intelligence platforms could pose a danger to election security as soon as 2024, with some experts speculating they could become a major source of misinformation. "We should be scared s---less,"Gary Marcus, professor emeritus of cognitive science at New York University and an AI expert, told Fortune last week. The comments come just months after a Twitter account named the Chicago Lakefront News posted a photo of Chicago mayoral candidate Paul Vallas along with a faked recording in which Vallas appears to downplay police shootings by arguing that "in my day" police officers would kill as many as 18 people in their career and "no one would bat an eye." The logos of OpenAI and ChatGPT, taken on Jan. 23, 2023. "This'Defund the Police' rhetoric is going to cause unrest and lawlessness in the city of Chicago.


A.I. Is Coming for Lawyers, Again - The New York Times

#artificialintelligence

The impact, Mr. Allgrove said, will be to force everyone in the profession, from paralegals to $1,000-an-hour partners, to move up the skills ladder to stay ahead of the technology. The work of humans, he said, will increasingly be to focus on developing industry expertise, exercising judgment in complex legal matters, and offering strategic guidance and building trusted relationships with clients. Technology has eliminated large numbers of jobs in recent years, and not just robots taking over factories. Personal computers, productivity software and the internet have made office work more efficient, replacing many workers. Office and administrative support occupations, including secretaries, clerks, bill collectors and office assistants, employ 1.3 million fewer workers than in 1990, according to an analysis by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
