>AI hack into control systems for the electric grid, water supplies, critical infrastructure and dismantle it and set booby traps to prevent it from coming back online smoothly
>AI designed virus/modified bacteria which causes pandemic
>AI worm infects computer systems around the world and activates when it is too deeply integrated into critical systems to dismantle without shutting everything down
>AI creates false alarm event which triggers global conflict
You mean like humans are already doing at mass scale today ?
Humans are hacking a lot now, but the scope, scale and speed of AI-enabled hacking is orders of magnitude more potentially disruptive.
With AI you have
1. Superhuman reaction time
2. Infinite duplicatability, thousands of agents can work in tandem
3. Superhuman breadth of knowledge of code, exploits, information
Also AI models are improving at a rapid rate
> 2. Infinite duplicatability, thousands of agents can work in tandem
Worse: you have local models they can install on infected computers, so this could easily be "millions" and might just about push "billions" (though phones are a much harder target because power required is still huge even if they technically fit in RAM).
And most importantly:
4. No guilt when violating human standards of ethics.
Are these humans getting more capable by the day, and not getting punished for anything?
