Anti-I: The Future of AI-Generated Malware

Humanity has been fascinated with artificial intelligence (AI) for the better part of a century -- from Aldus Huxley's "Brave New World" and Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" to the "Matrix" trilogy and the most recent season of "The X-Files." AI-based algorithms, specifically machine learning algorithms, enable news-curating apps such as Flipboard to deliver content to users that match their individual tastes. Reuters uses AI to review social media posts, news stories and readers' habits to generate opinion editorials. The city of Atlanta is installing smart traffic lights based on AI algorithms to help alleviate traffic congestion. AI is also being used to control street lights, automate certain elements of office buildings, automate customer service chat features and perform concierge services at hotels and offices around the world.
