I’m not postulating any “singularity,” where the AI-learning feedback loop becomes so fast that it outstrips human understanding. Okay, maybe it’s a bit of hyperbole, but none of this requires far-future science-fiction technology. We risk a future of AI systems hacking other AI systems, with humans being little more than collateral damage. It’s not just a difference in degree it’s a difference in kind. And two, AI systems will themselves become hackers: finding vulnerabilities in all sorts of social, economic, and political systems, and then exploiting them at an unprecedented speed, scale, and scope. It will hack our society to a degree and effect unlike anything that’s come before. And it is already deeply embedded into our social fabric, both in ways we understand and in ways we don’t.
