While the advances of artificial intelligence provide significant benefits in society, it also brings serious risks. A comprehensive study taken by researchers revealed dangerous scenarios that AI technology can be abused and clearly shows that it should be taken proactive measures against these threats.

The research report examines the main areas that are potential to abuse artificial intelligence:

  • Siber attacks: Automated and scalable attacks; speeding social engineering and identity hunting campaigns
  • Sahte content production: Deepfake video and sounds; manipulative and misleading media spread
  • Physical threats: Use for adverse purposes of autonomous weapons and drones
  • Biological risks: The possibility of helping artificial intelligence to design disease pathogens
  • Privacy violations: Biometric data and abuse of personal data

The basic finding of the study is that the technology access creates a two-faced sword. If artificial intelligence becomes so powerful and useful, the more dangerous means of malicious actors pass. Therefore, it is necessary not only to advance technologically, but also to develop parallel with the mechanisms of thecetic frameworks and governance**

The researchers propose to create comprehensive regulations by cooperating with industry stakeholders, academia and policy makers, to conduct further research on threat analysis and develop defense mechanisms against abuse scenarios. This approach can lead to minimizing serious risks while leveraging the potential of AI.
