The Rise of Artificial Intelligence

Introduction As we, the humans aim for broader capabilities beyond our intelligence, the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will undoubtedly create complex security challenges that will likely be beyond our capabilities to manage. While companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon and Baidu have got into an AI arms race already, it is important to identify, understand and evaluate the strategic security risks, we the humans will face in the coming years due to AI. The use of AI is not new. From cars to phones, to thermostats, emails and games like checkers and chess have been using basic "Artificial Narrow Intelligence" (ANI) system for a long time. More advanced ANI systems have also been widely used in sectors and industries like military, manufacturing, finance and so on.
