Killer Apps: Low-Speed, Large-Scale AI Weapons (2402.01663v4)
Abstract: The accelerating advancements in AI and Machine Learning (ML), highlighted by the development of cutting-edge Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models by organizations such as OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic, present new challenges and opportunities in warfare and security. Much of the current focus is on AI's integration within weapons systems and its role in rapid decision-making in kinetic conflict. However, an equally important but often overlooked aspect is the potential of AI-based psychological manipulation at internet scales within the information domain. These capabilities could pose significant threats to individuals, organizations, and societies globally. This paper explores the concept of AI weapons, their deployment, detection, and potential countermeasures.
