Researchers Say Bad Actors Prioritize AI Scams Over Model Training
AI researchers discuss priorities of bad actors using artificial intelligence for profit.
TLDR
Andreas Kirsch, a machine learning researcher at Google DeepMind, suggested financially motivated bad actors currently focus on profitable activities such as regular malware and AI-assisted scams rather than training advanced models, as those seeking chaos lack the necessary means and knowledge. Dan Roy, Professor of Statistics and Computer Science at the University of Toronto and researcher at Google DeepMind, agreed with the assessment. The exchange concerns motivations behind AI misuse versus large-scale model training by malicious parties.
