Our question today is whether AI is dangerous?

The devices are not dangerous. But the users are dangerous!

AI can potentially be dangerous if it is not properly developed, regulated, or managed. There are concerns about AI being used in ways that could harm individuals or society, such as through the misuse of personal data, discriminatory decision-making, or the development of autonomous weapons. It is important for researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to work together to address these risks and ensure that AI technologies are used responsibly. There are several potential dangers associated with the development and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). Some of these risks include:

AI has the potential to automate many tasks currently performed by humans, leading to job losses in various industries. This could exacerbate income inequality and create economic hardships for workers who are displaced by AI.  AI algorithms are often trained on biased data, leading to biased decision-making. This can result in discrimination against certain groups of people, such as minorities or women, and perpetuate existing inequalities in society. AI systems often collect and process vast amounts of personal data, raising concerns about privacy and surveillance. There is a risk that this data could be misused or breached, leading to privacy violations and identity theft.  AI technology can be used for malicious purposes, such as developing autonomous weapons systems or perpetrating cyber attacks. The potential for AI to be used in warfare raises ethical questions and concerns about the escalation of conflicts. Unintended consequences: AI systems are inherently complex and can exhibit unpredictable behavior. There is a risk that AI algorithms could malfunction or be repurposed for unintended uses, leading to unexpected consequences that are difficult to anticipate or control. AI systems are often developed by private companies or government agencies, with minimal regulation or oversight. This lack of accountability raises concerns about who is responsible for the actions of AI systems and how they can be held accountable for any harm caused.

Overall, while artificial intelligence has the potential to bring about significant advancements and benefits, it is important to consider and address the potential dangers and risks associated with its development and deployment. Regulatory frameworks, ethical guidelines, and transparency in AI development and implementation are essential to mitigate these risks and ensure that AI technology is used in a responsible and ethical manner.

The user's intention determines what AI is used for. The dangers of artificial intelligence: AI phishing,

forgery, botnet, political attacks, financial frauds Artificial intelligence (AI, or AI) can be a serious source of danger, especially because it is has become an integral part of our lives. They've only been with us for a couple of years, but they've accelerated so much in the last six months the events, so many people became aware of the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence that this   lawfully he also brought lawlessness with him. The amount and extent of risk factors is increasing exponentially. From personalized direct marketing ads and software to self-driving cars and as people   to conversational chatbots, we find artificial intelligence in more and more places. Pick up a new smartphone and either as an assistant function or as part of the camera, but you will find the AI. Books, films, games, and newspaper articles are made by him. It can be used to obtain information, learn, have fun, and play. Chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence to simulate human conversation.   They are increasingly popular in various industries, including customer service, marketing, and sales. ChatGPT is an example of an AI-powered chatbot that can generate realistic responses to user posts. One of the most significant dangers of using AI is the creation of fake accounts and botnets, as cybercriminals can cause a lot of particularly serious damage with these. There have been frauds of this type before, but with these applications troll factories can also level up. The role of chatbots in creating fake accounts Indeed, chatbots can also be used to make fake accounts appear real on social media platforms, as they can interact with other users and make the profile appear legitimate. In some larger Eastern countries, but unfortunately also in Hungary, fake accounts are used for various purposes, including spreading propaganda and manipulating public opinion. The use of fake profiles in political campaigns is becoming more common, and chatbots powered by artificial intelligence make it easier to create and manage these accounts. Chatbots and botnets What are botnets? – Botnets are networks of infected computers controlled remotely by hackers. Hackers use these botnets to carry out various cyber attacks, including phishing, DDoS attacks, and spreading malware. AI-driven bots are becoming more sophisticated and able to evade detection by traditional security measures. The dangers of botnets They can be used for various malicious activities, including DDoS attacks, spamming, and malware distribution. AI-driven bots are becoming more sophisticated and able to evade detection by traditional security measures. In Hungary, botnets have been used for various cyber attacks, including DDoS attacks against government websites. Interpol, for example, with the coordinated work of the police of several countries, eradicated a botnet that was responsible, among other things, for infecting hospital computers in Hungary and other countries. What is the botnet used for? The botnet has been used to carry out various cyber attacks, including phishing, malware distribution, and DDoS attacks. The use of botnets is becoming more common, and AI-driven bots are making it easier to create and manage these networks. Hackers can use artificial intelligence to create bots that are more sophisticated and harder to detect. These represent a significant threat to cyber security in Hungary and other countries. Social media platforms have become a battleground Social media platforms have become popular targets for fake accounts and botnets. These platforms are often used to spread propaganda, manipulate public opinion, and carry out cyber attacks. Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms have taken steps to combat fake profile scams and botnets. They use artificial intelligence-based tools to detect and remove fake accounts and suspicious activity. However, these tools are not 100% secure, and hackers are constantly developing new techniques to evade detection. Realistic fake photos and videos As a result of the image frauds, people can no longer believe their eyes with complete certainty. Artificial intelligence has also made it possible to create realistic fake photos and videos. Deepfake technology uses artificial intelligence to create videos that look real but are actually manipulated. This technology has already been used to create fake videos of politicians, celebrities and even ordinary people. Using realistic, manipulated photos and videos can have serious consequences They can be used to spread false information and create distrust in institutions and individuals. They can also be used for blackmail and blackmail. AI-powered tools can create images and videos that are difficult to distinguish from the real thing, making it easier to spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion. For example, words are put into someone's mouth that were never actually spoken. or they are depicted in a very life-like manner in a place and situation that never happened. Even the events of the past can be "reinterpreted" with manipulated images, and those whose interests are in this do not shy away from falsifying history. Risks of misleading content generated by AI AI-generated content is becoming increasingly common across industries, including journalism, advertising, and marketing. However, AI-generated content can be misleading and inaccurate, potentially causing harm to consumers. AI-powered chatbots can create and distribute content that is hard to distinguish from the real thing. These tools can be used to create fake reviews, misleading ads, and spam messages. The emergence of AI-generated content also poses a threat to traditional journalism AI-powered tools can create news and reports that are difficult to distinguish from the real thing, potentially harming consumers who rely on accurate and reliable information.

AI-based financial fraud, fintech scams Financial fraud is becoming more common and artificial intelligence is playing a role in these scams. Bots powered by artificial intelligence can be used to create fake investment opportunities, manipulate stock prices, and steal personal information.

Other financial scams typically involve sending fraudulent messages or emails that claim to be from a legitimate financial institution. In Hungary, fintech frauds on social media platforms, such as Facebook, are becoming more and more common. Recently, the situation has changed so much that fraudsters can increasingly use AI-powered chatbots to contact users and offer them fraudulent financial services or investment opportunities. These chatbots can mimic human conversations, making it difficult for users to recognize that they are scams. Phishing and fraud Phishing and fraud are two of the most common types of cyber attacks. Artificial intelligence can be used to create sophisticated phishing and fraud schemes.

What does phishing mean? – Phishing is a malicious activity that uses deceptive tactics to trick people into revealing their sensitive information or giving them access to their financial accounts. In other words, they provide an opportunity to misuse personal data. Robots controlled by artificial intelligence can be used to send phishing e-mails and SMS messages that look legitimate, for example, copying the appearance of messages from the post office, courier service, or bank. This can be used to trick people into providing personal information or downloading malware. Phishing and fraud are also common in e-mail Fraudsters often send fraudulent emails that appear to come from a legitimate organization, such as a bank or government agency. The emails usually contain a link that redirects the user to a fake website that looks like the legitimate organization's website. The fake website then asks the user to enter sensitive information such as login details or personal information. These tools can create convincing fake logos, signatures and other details that make emails look legitimate. What can be done against the risks caused by AI chatbots? In order to mitigate these risks, it is essential that appropriate regulations and ethical guidelines are available for the use of artificial intelligence-based tools. Awareness on an individual level is required: always check the email address from which the letter came. If it contains suspicious characters or endings, if the phone number is not domestic, it should be suspicious by default. First look at who said it and only then what.

What other risks arise from the misuse of artificial intelligence software? In addition to the risks discussed in the previous chapters, many other risks arise from the misuse of AI software.

These risks include:

Biased decision-making, opinion bubble: AI algorithms are trained on large data sets, and if these data sets are biased, the AI system's decisions may be biased. if a person encounters only the information that corresponds to his worldview, it leads to a kind of narrowing and perceptual distortions.

  AI systems are increasingly being used to automate routine tasks, which may lead to job losses in certain sectors. This can have a significant impact on the economy and exacerbate income inequality.

  Cyber security risks: tools powered by artificial intelligence can be used by hackers to launch sophisticated cyber attacks. For example, AI algorithms can be used to identify vulnerabilities in a system or launch targeted phishing attacks.    Privacy risks: AI algorithms can be used to collect and analyze vast amounts of personal data that can be used for nefarious purposes. The data can be used, for example, to create targeted advertisements or to identify individuals for surveillance purposes.

   Ethical concerns: the use of artificial intelligence raises many ethical concerns, including issues of bias, transparency, accountability and responsibility. Ethical guidelines and regulations are needed to ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically. Will chatbots really bring workplace armageddon and criminal Canaan? Along with the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, it is important to be aware of the risks associated with abuse. These risks include deepfake technology, biased decision making, job losses, cyber security risks, privacy risks and ethical concerns.

In order to mitigate these risks, it is essential to establish regulations and ethical guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence, develop transparent and accountable artificial intelligence systems, and educate individuals to recognize and avoid potential risks. It is also important to continue research and development of new AI technologies designed with security, privacy and ethics in mind. By taking these steps, we can ensure that AI technology is used for the benefit of society while minimizing potential risks.
