AI's dark side: 26 researchers map the coming wave of malicious use
The Malicious Use of Artificial Intelligence
A landmark report from Miles Brundage, Shahar Avin, Jack Clark, Helen Toner, and 22 other researchers surveys how AI could amplify security threats across the digital, physical, and political domains. It offers four high-level recommendations for AI researchers and other stakeholders, suggests promising directions for defenses that could make attacks harder to execute, and weighs—without resolving—the long-term equilibrium between attackers and defenders.
This report surveys the landscape of potential security threats from malicious uses of AI, and proposes ways to better forecast, prevent, and mitigate these threats.
