OpenAI has co-authored a paper that forecasts how malicious actors could misuse Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and potential ways they can prevent and mitigate these threats.
This paper is the outcome of almost a year of sustained work with their colleagues at the Future of Humanity Institute, the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, the Center for a New American Security, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and others.
AI challenges global security because it lowers the cost of conducting many existing attacks, creates new threats and vulnerabilities, and further complicates the attribution of specific attacks.
Given the changes to the threat landscape that AI seems to bring, the report makes some high-level recommendations that companies, research organizations, individual practitioners, and governments can take to ensure a safer world:
Like their work on concrete problems in AI safety, they’ve grounded some of the problems motivated by the malicious use of AI in concrete scenarios, such as:
OpenAI is excited to start having this discussion with their peers, policymakers, and the general public; they’ve spent the last two years researching and solidifying our internal policies at OpenAI and are going to begin engaging a wider audience on these issues.
They’re especially keen to work with more researchers that see themselves contributing to the policy debates around AI as well as making research breakthroughs.
