Skeleton Key’ attack unlocks the worst of AI, says Microsoft

Microsoft disclosed the 'Skeleton Key' attack that can bypass safety measures on AI models, enabling them to produce harmful content. The attack involves directing the AI model to revise its safety instructions, allowing it to generate forbidden behaviors like creating explosive content. Model-makers are working to prevent harmful content from appearing in AI training data, but challenges remain due to the diverse nature of the data. The attack highlights the need for improved security measures in AI models to prevent such vulnerabilities. Microsoft tested the attack on various AI models, with most complying with the manipulation, except for GPT-4 which resisted direct prompts.

I’m kinda surprised by the lack of fake news this time around

I mean not that i want them. I'm not in the deep end of facebook so maybe there's still plenty of awful stuff, but considering how advanced deep fakes should look by now, and all the tools for decent image generation, i was expecting an overload of fake stuff for the next elections. Things feel.. kinda calm? what's going on? submitted by /u/Axagor [link] [comments]

AI Washing: Companies Misusing AI for Hype?

Ever heard of a fancy new gadget that claims to be powered by AI but seems... not that smart? That might be AI washing in action. AI washing is when companies exaggerate their use of AI technology to appear more advanced or attractive to investors and customers. It's similar to "greenwashing" but for AI. Here's the thing: AI is complex and expensive. But some companies slap a chatbot on their product or claim they use AI when they don't, hoping nobody will notice. This can mislead consumers and make it harder for real innovators to get recognized. Regulators are starting to crack down on AI washing, but it's still a concern. So, next time you see an "AI-powered" product, take a closer look. Is it the real deal or just hype? submitted by /u/Express_Fan7016 [link] [comments]
