Artificial intelligence has made tasks easy in every sector and it has immense benefits, but it has also become a dangerous thing for the world, some of the AI tools have been used for illegal purposes why people.
This article will inform you of the top 3 most dangerous AI tools that must be avoided or banned.
1. Deepfake Technology – Dangerous AI Tools
App Name: DeepFaceLab
Overview:
Deepfacelab is an AI tool that allows one to swap faces in video like real, this technology has been developed on a machine learning model that analyzes facial expressions, complexions, and features and replicates the same things and is used to create videos, in simple terms it copies the face and changes one video to another video which looks like realistic.
Dangers:
The Deepfakes artificial intelligence tools are harmful they might be used for exploitation purposes which include misinformation, blackmail, or defamation, they can used for making fake videos such as political party leaders, saying something that has not been said and might have serious implications, people may create the fake videos of celebrities, this technology has potential that might be used for the adult contents where real face changed to celebrity faces, cyber crimes will increase and legal evidence might be tempered.
Example:
It has been found that people are using Deepfakes AI tools and damaging people’s reputations, in a recent incident someone replaced a Bollywood actress’s face with an adult video, which went viral and damaged the actress’s image as well as damaged her psychologically, currently the Deepfakes have were removed from the GitHub repository.
2. Autonomous Weapons – Dangerous AI Tools
App Name: Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS)
Overview:
Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) are a type of digital weapon based on artificial intelligence technology that identifies the target, selects them, and engages with them without human intervention. They process a large amount of data in real time decisions by themselves on battlefields faster than humans.
Dangers:
These weapons can operate without human intervention which might create serious ethical and security issues, They must be in the control of humans, and their decision-making technology might risk innocent people’s lives, another serious problem if the system fails or hacked could result in disaster and the possibility of war.
Example:
Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems (LAWS) are examples of programmed drone systems used to eliminate potential threats. However, due to programming mistakes or misinterpretation of data, they could mistakenly target the citizens of a country or place.
3. AI Surveillance Systems – Dangerous AI Tools
App Name: Clearview AI
Overview:
Clearview AI is a software that recognizes the software from billions of images that are available over the Internet such as social media accounts and online platforms, mostly it law enforcement agencies use this AI software to identify suspects by face image matching from photos and videos which are captured from incidents places.
Dangers:
This tool can be useful in the crime investigation process, but this AI face recognition software may threaten the privacy and liberties of people. Government agencies can use this software, but it does not show a hundred percent perfect result or its algorithm may show inaccurate images which leads to the wrong arrest of people and discrimination.
Example:
In The year 2020, it was found that the Clearview AI tool was used by agencies without the country’s permission and created a leading concern of privacy violation and potential misuse of the AI tool.
In conclusion, it has been found that AI has revolutionized industries and improved people’s lives, but it has also become a risk concern for people, where tools like Deepfake replaced people’s faces in videos and look like original, Autonomous Weapons may used by the hackers and algorithm may attack civilian and Creaview AI may detect wrong profile from internet, all these must-have strict policies, regulations and misused, leading to dangerous outcomes.
