Technology is Growing by Leaps and Bounds

Technology is Growing by Leaps and Bounds

Technology is growing by leaps and bounds. We are inventing and we’re using machines that act like humans and are able to learn like humans too. We mean, of course, artificial intelligence. In simple terms. AI has the power to replace humans in many cases. While they are machines they are powered by the ability to learn much as you and I can learn.

Narrow AI is still so powerful that it can outstrip many people at some simple cognitive tasks. It can help people to do some smaller simple tasks and even some very complex ones.

While AI is one of the things that is building new jobs, it is also taking away some jobs. While it is making life better, it may also be making life more difficult.

Everything comes at a price, as the saying goes, and AI is no different.

AI has been getting breached since the technology began. AI and the devices that it controls are not as secure as they could be and that’s the sad truth. There is a bigger threat than just a hack though.. AI has an opponent known as Adversarial AI.

This is the technique of confusing the AI by adding incorrect data that can disturb the patterns and cause real problems and damage to the AI model that the device actually does incorrect things.

One example is the self driving car.

The self driving car could be tricked into reading a stop sign as something that says speed limit 60 and not stop. Think about what could happen with this kind of data poisoning.

The insulin pump could be tricked into thinking that 2 mg of long acting insulin was 20 MG. 

How much damage could be done by this kind of injection into the devices that we depend on to be safe? There’s a definite down side to the AI that we are using on a day to day basis.

How else might we see detrimental behavior from an AI device? Our next article explores AI being damaged from within the company that is building it. See you soon.

Michael DeKort is a great follow on self-driving cars, and their true impact for times to come. He takes a counterpoint of view, but one that I think is well-founded. Thanks Bill

You raise an interesting point, Bill. Seems like in this case, as with so many other solutions, there can be unintended consequences that need to be considered up front.
