Trump deepfakes on social media prompt warnings of AI risks.

This could have been Trump, Biden, a celebrity or even you. A deepfake is a type of artificial intelligence technology that allows people to create manipulated videos or images that can show people doing or saying things that they never actually did. It works by using a type of machine learning called “deep learning” to analyze and learn from existing images and videos of a person, and then generate new, realistic-looking footage of that person. This can be used to create realistic-looking videos or images of people that appear to be doing or saying things that they never actually did in real life.

For example, someone might create a deepfake video of a famous politician appearing to say something controversial or embarrassing, even if they never actually said it. These types of videos can be very convincing and difficult to detect, which can make them a powerful tool for spreading misinformation or causing harm.

Dangers of Artificial Intelligence

Threats of AI

“When fake news meets artificial intelligence (AI), the risk is robots will lie, leaving us with fake intelligence and artificial news, or exactly where we are now.” ~Jim Vibert
“Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people. If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they’ll think faster than us and they’ll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently.” ~Steve Wozniak
“We know that blind evolutionary processes can produce human-level general intelligence, since they have already done so at least once. Evolutionary processes with foresight—that is, genetic programs designed and guided by an intelligent human programmer—should be able to achieve a similar outcome with far greater efficiency.” ~Nick Bostrom
“Once artificial intelligence truly learns on its own no one knows how it will evolve.” ~Dave Waters
“We believe the singularity is inevitable, and all businesses will be redefined as computers overtake humans in intelligence.” ~Masayoshi Son
“Study the past if you want to define the future.” ~Confucious
“Artificial intelligence is the future, not only for Russia, but for all humankind. It comes with colossal opportunities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” ~Vladimir Putin
