Artificial intelligence makes it much easier to observe people, said Harry Halpin, co-founder and CEO of Nym, in a podcast with Jonathan DeYoung, writes the Telegraph.
"Artificial intelligence surveillance is very dangerous because small amounts of information can be used to identify and monitor you," Halpin said.He cited the example of metadata from telephone conversations, which, as it turned out in 2013, thanks to whistleblower Edward Snowden, the US government collected on a large scale.
Halpin noted that this information allows governments to "track your physical presence, which stores you go to, when you are awake, sleeping, who you communicate with, make friends with, what your sexual, religious, and political preferences are."
"In fact, the whole point of surveillance is to create a kind of your digital double, which can be used both for surveillance and for monitoring and predicting behavior, and perhaps even to push them to do what they need. It's much easier to do this with AI than before," he said.Recall that in June, Edward Snowden criticized the appearance of the ex-head of the NSA on the board of directors of OpenAI.
Earlier, he called CBDC "the newest danger hanging over society."
