What is Artificial Intelligence? : Everything You Need to Know about AIDashTechnologiesInc
Artificial Intelligence may be a buzzword now, but it’s not a new term. It was coined in 1956 by Minsky and McCarthy. Even though their effort to bring AI into the world’s attention failed, scientists and innovators started researching and developing machines that would mimic humans. In a nutshell;
Trends in AI:
- 67% of executives say AI will help humans and machines work together to be stronger using both artificial and human intelligence.
- 65% think that AI would free employees from menial tasks.
- 27% of executives say their organization plans to invest within a year in cybersecurity safeguards that use AI and machine learning.
So is Artificial Intelligence going to provide safety for us?
Top Positive and Negative Impacts of AI & ML on CybersecurityPixel Crayons
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies have many positive applications, from helping researchers better understand neural pathways in the brain to assisting law enforcement with identifying suspects in criminal investigations.
They are renowned for the greater good of cybersecurity. However, these technologies also hold the potential to ruin our perfectly running digital world and become a source of power to the dark web users/administrators.
If you’re not familiar with how AI and ML might impact cybersecurity, this blog will discuss both sides of the coin and help you better understand how this technology might affect you one day soon.
Under the right hands, they are a boon to humanity, but they can quickly turn into a bane on the corrupt hands.
As for now, upgrade your security with these technologies to stay in the competition. Connect with a Machine Learning company in India to maximize your cybersecurity.

This document discusses the limitations of signature-based malware detection techniques and argues that artificial intelligence offers a better approach. Signature-based detection is ineffective against modern threats that use sophisticated obfuscation and mutation techniques. Artificial intelligence can detect malware based on complex characteristics rather than signatures alone. The document recommends that critical infrastructure adopt defense-grade artificial intelligence solutions to gain an advantage over increasingly intelligent adversaries.
In the landscape of technological evolution, Generative Artificial Intelligence stands at the forefront, reshaping our interactions with technology, creativity, and the world at large. As we teeter on the brink of a new era, the trajectory of Generative AI promises to redefine industries, reshape human experiences, and unlock unprecedented possibilities.
Generative AI's Ascendance:
Empowered by advanced machine learning techniques, Generative AI possesses the remarkable ability to create, innovate, and simulate, once thought to be exclusive to human intellect.

2. QFM012: Irresponsible AI Reading
List March 2024
Here is everything I found interesting about Irresponsible AI during March 2024.
This month's Quantum Fax Machine: Irresponsible AI Reading List explores themes ranging from cybersecurity and
digital deception to the broader societal implications and ethical considerations of AI technology.
In an innovative take on productivity, the tweet "I finally figured out how to skip daily stand-ups" reveals how someone
crafted an AI clone to attend daily stand-up meetings, merging AI into their everyday work life and raising questions
about the future of workplace presence and productivity.
Meanwhile, Bruce Schneier's discussion on a LLM Prompt Injection Worm highlights the cybersecurity threats inherent
in generative AI, where a worm spreads through AI systems without user interaction, suggesting the potential for new
forms of digital vulnerability.
Further exploring AI's darker potential, ArtPrompt: ASCII Art-based Jailbreak Attacks against Aligned LLMs introduces a
method to manipulate AI using ASCII art, bypassing safety measures and exposing limitations in AI's ability to
understand non-semantic text forms. This complements the narrative of digital fraud, as illustrated by a New Yorker
article detailing a scam that uses AI to clone voices of loved ones for extortion: The Terrifying AI Scam That Uses Your
Loved One's Voice. We then look at the decreasing public trust in AI with Public trust in AI is sinking across the board),
underscoring the importance ethical considerations.
Onto philosophy and ethics, Among the AI Doomsayers delves into the divided perceptions of AI's future, from utopian
visions to dystopian fears. Complementing this perspective, The Expanding Dark Forest and Generative AI discusses the
challenge of maintaining human authenticity in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated content, asking us to
think about what it means to have genuine human interactions online.
As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy!

3. I finally figured out how to skip daily stand-
ups: This tweet (Xeet?) describes someone
creating an AI clone to participate in daily
stand-up meetings on their behalf. This AI
clone can understand daily activities, listen
to meetings via audio processing, and
respond using a language model.

4. LLM Prompt Injection Worm: Bruce
Schneier discusses the development and
demonstration of a worm that can spread
through large language models (LLMs) by
prompt injection, exploiting GenAI-
powered applications to perform malicious
activities without user interaction. It
emphasises the potential risks in the
interconnected ecosystems of Generative
AI applications.

5. ArtPrompt: ASCII Art-based Jailbreak Attacks
against Aligned LLMs: This article introduces
ArtPrompt, a novel ASCII art-based attack that
exploits vulnerabilities in large language
models (LLMs) by bypassing safety measures
to induce undesired behaviours. This approach
highlights the limitations of current LLMs in
recognising non-semantic forms of text, such
as ASCII art, posing significant security
challenges. More on harmful ASCII-art here:

6. Among the AI Doomsayers: The article
explores the divide within the tech
community regarding the future of artificial
intelligence, with some viewing it as a
pathway to utopia and others fearing it
could lead to humanity's destruction. It
delves into personal stories, industry
dynamics, and philosophical debates
surrounding AI's potential impact,
highlighting the complexity and urgency of
navigating its development responsibly.

7. The Terryifying AI Scam That Uses Your Loved One's
Voice: This article describes a new AI scam targeting
individuals by mimicking the voices of their loved
ones to create highly convincing and emotionally
manipulative situations for extortion. It highlights
the increasing sophistication of AI technologies in
cloning voices and the challenges in combating such
scams, alongside the emotional and psychological
impact on victims. One thing worth considering is
the creation of a "Family Safe Word" that can be
asked for in a situation where the provenance of a
caller is under question. Making sure everyone in
the family remembers the safe word without having
to write it down is the next challenge.

8. Public trust in AI is sinking across the
board): Public trust in AI and the companies
developing it is declining worldwide, with
significant drops in trust levels over the
past five years, according to Edelman's
data. This trend raises concerns as the
industry grows and regulators worldwide
consider appropriate regulations.
