The Darker Side of AI
Greg McDonough ● May 08, 2024
While many of Tuesday’s talks centered on the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in areas such as revolutionizing the speed at which our government works and the intersection of AI and art, there were also conversations that focused on the disruptive and destructive capabilities of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and the global ramifications of the AI arms race. In Tackling Deepfakes, Wars, and Other Security Threats in the GenAI World, participants Adam Isles, Natalie Pierce, Lucy Thomson, and moderator Patrick Huston discussed the darker societal impacts that have already been felt as the result of GenAI and how they see these concerns evolving in the future of the United States’ legal system, global digital identity authentication, election interference, and autonomous warfare.
