A.I. experts warn of a 'Black Mirror'-esque future with swarms of micro-drones, autonomous weapons

Such attacks fall into three categories of violations: digital, physical and political, according to the report. AI will allow the automation of tasks involved in digital cyberattacks that will make those offensives easier to carry out, larger and more efficient. They authors expect new varieties of attacks using speech synthesis for impersonation and automated hacking too. In the physical ream, using AI to automate tasks involved in drone and autonomous weapon attacks "may expand the threats associated with these attacks," the report says. Further, the report predicts new attacks that "subvert" the signals to autonomous vehicles, causing them to crash.
