Fundamental Risks in the Current Deployment of General-Purpose AI Models: What Have We (Not) Learnt From Cybersecurity? General Purpose AI - such as Large Language Models (LLMs) - have seen rapid deployment in a wide range of use cases. Most surprisingly, they have have made their way from plain language models, to chat-bots, all the way to an almost "operating system"-like status that can control decisions and logic of an application. Tool-use, Microsoft co-pilot/office integration, and OpenAIs Altera are just a few examples of increased autonomy, data access, and execution capabilities. Unfortunately, it turns out that the current technology is vulnerable to attacks like prompt and in-direct prompt injection. This means that a message sent to the AI by a user or even an attacker injecting a message into the AI, can alter the behavior and lead to malicious and harmful outcomes.

Elon Musk has once again issued a stark warning over his fears about the rise of artificial intelligence. The Telsa CEO shared a pair of tweets today that stated it will not be long until'advanced AI' manipulates social media. Musk has suggested sites closely watch to see if bot swarms are evolving faster, as this could be a dead giveaway of a robot takeover. Elon Musk shared a pair of tweets today that stated it will not be long until'advanced AI' manipulates social media'Anonymous bot swarms deserve a closer examination. If they're evolving rapidly, something is up', reads the second tweet.

Opinion: it's likely that artificial intelligence will do more good than harm for human civilisation The solar system is full of debris and rocks floating around. A meteor shower or a shooting star is debris burning up upon entry to the atmosphere. A much larger rock that could make its way through is an asteroid. About 66 million years ago, the impact from an asteroid brought about the Cretaceous extinction. A repetition of this event is theoretically possible - and the same could be said about all-powerful Artificial Intelligence Overlords marginalising the human race. Since its inception in the mid 20th century, the field of artificial intelligence has had an interesting ride.

Elon Musk has famously compared AI to'summoning the devil'. Now the Tesla billionaire claims the technology could lead to the creation of immortal robot leaders from which humanity can never escape. His comments were made in the new documentary'Do You Trust This Computer?' by Chris Paine which premiered in Los Angeles last night. Elon Musk has famously compared AI to'summoning the devil'. The documentary explores the potential advantages and dangers of AI.

If tech experts are to be believed, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the world. But those same experts don't agree on what kind of effect that transformation will have on the average person. Some believe that humans will be much better off in the hands of advanced AI systems, while others think it will lead to our inevitable downfall. How could a single technology evoke such vastly different responses from people within the tech community? Artificial intelligence is software built to learn or problem solve -- processes typically performed in the human brain.

Google's CEO has claimed that the impact of artificial intelligence on humanity is'more profound' than that of electricity or fire. In a recent interview Sundar Pichai, 45, said that AI is'one of the most important things that humanity is working on'. He added that intelligent machines could one day help to cure cancer or solve problems arising from climate change. In a recent interview Google boss Sundar Pichai (file photo), 45, said that AI is'one of the most important things that humanity is working on'. While many tech leaders push that AI will become invaluable to humanity, others argue it poses a threat to our species.

Global competition to be the country with the most sophisticated AI will be the cause of the next world war, Musk predicts. His comment was responding to a story about Russian president Vladimir Putin predicting the country winning in artificial intelligence "will be the ruler of the world." Musk posted the warning with a photo of a poster that read "in the end, the machines will win." "I have exposure to the most cutting edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned by it," Musk said at the National Governors Association. "AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization in a way that car accidents, airplane crashes, faulty drugs or bad food were not -- they were harmful to a set of individuals within society, of course, but they were not harmful to society as a whole." According to Musk, an essential part of the solution is proactive and immediate regulatory oversight.

Elon Musk has been very vocal about his concerns over artificial intelligence, and now the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has quantified his worries. In a recent talk, Musk claimed that efforts to make AI safe only have'a five to 10 per cent chance of success.' The warning comes shortly after Musk claimed that regulation of artificial intelligence was drastically needed because it's a'fundamental risk to the existence of human civilisation.'

Until recently, the most famous thing that Sophia the robot had ever done was beat Jimmy Fallon a little too easily in a nationally televised game of rock-paper-scissors. But now, the advanced artificial intelligence robot -- which looks like Audrey Hepburn, mimics human expressions and may be the grandmother of robots that solve the world's most complex problems -- has a new feather in her cap: The kingdom of Saudi Arabia officially granted citizenship to the humanoid robot last week during a program at the Future Investment Initiative, a summit that links deep-pocketed Saudis with inventors hoping to shape the future. Sophia's recognition made international headlines -- and sparked an outcry against a country with a shoddy human rights record that has been accused of making women second-class citizens. "Thank you to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia," the country's newest citizen said. "It is historic to be the first robot in the world granted citizenship."
