Reddit Discussion
ok So this is what im reading lately...
"AI systems capable of launching highly sophisticated, automated cyberattacks that can overwhelm major institutional defenses are measured in months, not years." (Meaning THAT Time is basically upon us Sooner rather then later and need to prepare if even can prepare at all against it.)
So what does this possibly mean? are we talking like any one with one of these models of ai could literally just wipe out a entire states judicial systems and erase basically every ones records and give everyone a clean fresh start?
Or Even pull a fight club but instead of blowing up buildings / servers to erase every ones info etc and making every ones credit go back to zero? or something like that?
But yeah just wondering if this was a prompt for one of these advanced ai systems is it entirely possible it could start something so crazy and life changing for everyone with a simple command?
Like think of in the blade runner universe when the black out happened etc and wiped out all digital / financial and replicant registry / everything.
Is this basically what could happen if a entity commanded it of AI now a days? is that what they are warning and that it is literally months away not years?
Thanks for any replies from yall in the cyber security realm just curious since yeah that would be like a EMP over a entire hemisphere of the planet almost.
here is vid i watched after i posted this but yeah i think it sums up what i meant when posting this post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o70hQwUYyCU&t
