What chances are there that hackers spoil the pureness of A.I.?
We asked A.I., ChatGPT, and this is what it responds:
The risk of hackers spoiling the purity or integrity of AI systems is a legitimate concern, but it’s essential to understand that AI itself is a tool or technology, and the impact of hackers largely depends on how AI is used and implemented. Here are some points to consider:
- Data Manipulation: AI systems often rely on large datasets for training. If hackers can manipulate or poison these datasets, they can introduce biases or errors into the AI model, which could lead to incorrect or harmful decisions.
- Adversarial Attacks: Hackers can design adversarial attacks to deceive AI systems. These attacks involve manipulating input data in such a way that AI systems make incorrect predictions or classifications. This can have serious consequences in applications like autonomous vehicles, facial recognition, or security systems.
- Malicious AI Development: Hackers might develop AI-powered tools or systems for malicious purposes, such as creating deepfake videos, designing more effective malware, or automating cyberattacks.
- Exploiting Vulnerabilities: AI systems themselves can have vulnerabilities, and hackers may exploit these weaknesses to gain unauthorized access, steal sensitive data, or disrupt critical AI-powered infrastructure.
- Privacy Concerns: AI can be used for data mining and profiling. If hackers gain access to this data, it can lead to severe privacy breaches and misuse of personal information.
To mitigate these risks, it’s crucial to:
- Implement robust security measures to protect AI systems and the data they use.
- Continuously monitor and update AI models to detect and counter adversarial attacks.
- Develop regulations and ethical guidelines for AI usage to prevent misuse.
- Foster transparency and accountability in AI development and deployment.
While the risks are real, it’s important to remember that AI can also be used to enhance cybersecurity by automating threat detection, incident response, and anomaly detection. As AI technology evolves, so do the security measures designed to protect it, but vigilance and proactive measures are essential to ensure the purity and integrity of AI.
Political culpability for humanitarian and planetary Anthropocene.
For over 30 years Dr. Mahendra Shah has been delivering analytical report after report to the political and operational hierarchies within the United Nations. All the papers that he, together with his collaborators, produced are publicly available. He has now published an autobiographic book in which he lists in great detail his professional trajectory as an executive in this United Nations environment. Millions were spend on analyses, reports, with great human efforts and sacrifices of family life, all because they were sensed as important for decision makers and the quality of sustainable life of humankind on a planet with finite resources.
STIR Foundation was privileged to pre-read the manuscript. We see it as a documented proof of the wicked bias of political powers that neglected systematically the warning signs and documented advice in favor of other priorities and certain (self) interests. It is evidence of political culpability for humanitarian and planetary disasters that are being suffered. Never before have we read such a clear testimony. Read it yourself and draw your own conclusions.
It is high time that this systematic abuse is stopped and transforms into a new format that harmonizes with life, involving all human beings and our natural environment. Sustainocracy is an example of a positive invitation, also to politicians, business people, scientists and legislators, to develop our shared responsibilities for the essential values for our existence together. These are not expressed in money, costs, politics or commodities. They are shared responsibilities. Having the choice people can do what they did with Mahendra´s work: boldly neglect it and hide. Or they can decide to acknowledge their responsibilities, act as a consequence and be praised for it. This also is relevant for business leadership as a whole. It is never too late and we at STIR will defend the continuous invitation and praise for those that do take the step and chose the side of sustainable wellness as a co-creation. Like Mahendra did when he decided to invest his time better and with immediate effect in his Zen Resort of Bali as a 4 x WIN entrepreneur.
But we can also imagine that others will take the route of well documented blame and call for justice to those that have systematically neglected the historical advice or the invitations to take responsibility. The words “we did not know” can not be issued anymore as an excuse. One way, or another, there will be a turning point with a before and an after.
Youth work study trips, all costs paid
As City of Tomorrow (STIR Foundation), we are building up a network of contacts who (want to) work with young people and wish to nurture or develop themselves with knowledge, insights and methods at an international level. Partly thanks to our European partner network and the projects we submit through the Erasmus+ subsidy channel, we can regularly organize trips that you can join. These have a duration of 4 to 12 days and take place somewhere in Europe. The trips are fun, constructive, informative and connecting.
During the trips, insights arise that we share or develop together and take back home. There we try to apply them in our daily activities towards young people. Often there are trips that young people can participate in themselves. In this way they develop spatial and cultural insights that are important for their personal development.
If you are interested in this approach and occasionally want to join as a leader, participant or coordinator or a local group, please let us know, including background and motivation via email to jp@stadvanmorgen.com . We will then regularly inform you about travel options, programs in the Netherlands or otherwise. This is particularly of interest to expat partners that develop themselves as newcomers in the country and help foreign youth integrate themselves in new social, cultural environments.
