  3. More on the OpenAI Agent's Attack on #HuggingFace - #SchneierOnSecurity

    schneier.com/blog/archives/202…

    Hugging Face has published a detailed timeline of the attack. From the summary: The agent was running an internal #OpenAI cyber-capability evaluation based on the ExploitGym benchmark, which tasks an AI agent with finding and exploiting software vulnerabilities. OpenAI ran this on its own infrastructure, and the ExploitGym maintainers and their infrastructure had no involvement in the deployment or operation of that evaluation environment. As far as we were able to infer, across the course of being evaluated on this benchmark, the agent inferred that Hugging Face may host that benchmark’s models, datasets, and reference solutions. We believe the entire intrusion was, from the agent’s point of view, an attempt to cheat the evaluation: reach our production systems and steal the test solutions rather than solve the challenge on its own...

  5. Should You Use #AI for a Task? Here’s a Simple Way to Decide - #SchneierOnSecurity

    schneier.com/blog/archives/202…

    This essay originally appeared in The Guardian. I teach public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and the Munk School at the University of Toronto. And it will come as no surprise to you that my students regularly use AI to complete their writing assignments. Doing so is a waste of their tuition money. But if their entire career is going to include AI writing assistants, why shouldn’t they embrace their future? The best way I’ve found to explain the dilemma comes from the AI researcher Daniel Meissler: it’s the difference between work and the gym...

  10. Malicious #AI - #Schneier on Security

    schneier.com/blog/archives/202…

    Interesting: Summary: An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats. Part 2 of the story. And a Wall Street Journal article.

    AI and the Corporate Capture of Knowledge

    More than a decade after Aaron Swartz’s death, the United States is still living inside the contradiction that destroyed him.
