Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Cyber Security

Machine intelligence is everywhere in facial recognition at airports to emotional sensing algorithms; machine generated Art work; legal and medical advisory search to sometimes fowl mouthed social chat bots. The Google company AI team recently announced they developed Google Neural Machine Translation system, GNMT, using a new technique that is improving results to near human translation speed accuracy. These advances that Google describe as machine translation at production scale, are testament to the rapid real-time advancement of AI into human experience and intelligence as well as beyond human capabilities. Andrew Ng of Stanford and Chief Scientist at Baidu Research famously said that word translation of 95% is 1 in every 20 words would likely be wrong, going to 99% is game changing. Andrew was quoted in a recent HBR article saying, "If a typical person can do a mental task with less than one second of thought, we can probably automate it using AI either now or in the near future."
