QFM012: Irresponsible AI Reading List - March 2024
This month's Quantum Fax Machine: Irresponsible AI Reading List explores themes ranging from cybersecurity and digital deception to the broader societal implications and ethical considerations of AI technology.
In an innovative take on productivity, the tweet "I finally figured out how to skip daily stand-ups" reveals how someone crafted an AI clone to attend daily stand-up meetings, merging AI into their everyday work life and raising questions about the future of workplace presence and productivity.
Meanwhile, Bruce Schneier's discussion on a LLM Prompt Injection Worm highlights the cybersecurity threats inherent in generative AI, where a worm spreads through AI systems without user interaction, suggesting the potential for new forms of digital vulnerability.
Further exploring AI's darker potential, ArtPrompt: ASCII Art-based Jailbreak Attacks against Aligned LLMs introduces a method to manipulate AI using ASCII art, bypassing safety measures and exposing limitations in AI's ability to understand non-semantic text forms. This complements the narrative of digital fraud, as illustrated by a New Yorker article detailing a scam that uses AI to clone voices of loved ones for extortion: The Terrifying AI Scam That Uses Your Loved One's Voice. We then look at the decreasing public trust in AI with Public trust in AI is sinking across the board), underscoring the importance ethical considerations.
Onto philosophy and ethics, Among the AI Doomsayers delves into the divided perceptions of AI's future, from utopian visions to dystopian fears. Complementing this perspective, The Expanding Dark Forest and Generative AI discusses the challenge of maintaining human authenticity in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated content, asking us to think about what it means to have genuine human interactions online.
