AI Warfare is coming

MIT Review: "Military artificial intelligence can be easily and dangerously fooled: AI warfare is beginning to dominate military strategy in the US and China, but is the technology ready?"
Quote:
Last March, Chinese researchers announced an ingenious and potentially devastating attack against one of America’s most prized technological assets—a Tesla electric car. The team, from the security lab of the Chinese tech giant Tencent, demonstrated several ways to fool the AI algorithms on Tesla’s car. By subtly altering the data fed to the car’s sensors, the researchers were able to bamboozle and bewilder the artificial intelligence that runs the vehicle. In one case, a TV screen contained a hidden pattern that tricked the windshield wipers into activating. In another, lane markings on the road were ever-so-slightly modified to confuse the autonomous driving system so that it drove over them and into the lane for oncoming traffic. Tesla’s algorithms are normally brilliant at spotting drops of rain on a windshield or following the lines on the road, but they work in a way that’s fundamentally different from human perception. That makes such “deep learning” algorithms, which are rapidly sweeping through different industries for applications such as facial recognition and cancer diagnosis, surprisingly easy to fool if you find their weak points. Leading a Tesla astray might not seem like a strategic threat to the United States. But what if similar techniques were used to fool attack drones, or software that analyzes satellite images, into seeing things that aren’t there—or not seeing things that are?
[^] Hopefully it will be a lot "smarter" than Google ad-AI that continually tries to sell me Chinese heavy-industry machine-tool-systems. Note: you may need to register to read this: you get some number of free reads a month, and I'm happy to tell you they do not send sales messages.

Can't we just have an electric car?

I have a used Tesla I can sell you :omg:

I meant an electric car without all the hackable do hickys. It seems as soon as we toss out the ICE drive train and replace it with motors, oh then we have to have all this other crap I guess because we can.

Thanks to the spread of the Internet Of Shit Things, there are much simpler vulnerabilities in common infrastructure, without the need to trick "artificial" intelligence. Just imagine some hacker manipulating the traffic lights in town, giving green light to everyone ...
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
