🔍 Online Privacy Is A Concern in the Age of AI

In our ever-changing digital world, the question of how much to share online is becoming increasingly crucial. Recent advancements in AI and facial recognition technology have added urgency to this matter, especially for parents who have diverse approaches to sharing their children's lives on social platforms.

One case that highlights these concerns is that of TikTok sensation Kodye Elyse, who chose to remove her children's images from the internet following unsettling encounters with strangers. Despite her efforts, she was alarmed to discover that facial recognition technology had still managed to link her child's photo to the web.

The dangers associated with deepfake technology, scams, and the potential for strangers to exploit personal photos, including deepfake porn, cannot be underestimated. To navigate these risks, experts advise exercising caution in online sharing, using tools like PimEyes to monitor your child's digital presence, and endorsing private sharing practices. Striking a balance between sharing and safeguarding our online privacy is crucial in an era where technology shapes our lives profoundly. As facial recognition technology continues to expand to the point where we will soon just need our face to ID ourselves, pay for groceries, and get on an airplane (no ID or ticket necessary) protecting our digital identities becomes paramount.

U.S. Military Quickly Adopts AI for Advantage

The US military is rapidly developing and adopting AI systems like autonomous aircraft and ground vehicles to maintain its advantage over rivals like China and to be ready for other current conflicts that may escalate. While concerns persist about "killer robots", current systems still have human oversight and much adoption is for behind-the-scenes tasks like data management to save time and costs.

The focus remains on AI assisting human creativity and ingenuity, not fully replacing it, but as AI and robotics advances and current conflicts continue to escalate more funding and research is going into autonomous weapons than ever before. In fiscal year 2023, the DoD designated tech as a top modernization priority and received $1.1 billion to adopt AI into its workforce development and data management. The department is asking Congress for $1.8 billion in the same funding in next year’s budget and due to present conditions, they will get that and more.

U.S. Cracks Down Further on Advanced AI Chip Exports to China

The U.S. plans to unveil new export rules this week to close loopholes allowing American chipmakers to sell advanced AI chips to China, in an effort to maintain tough restrictions on China's military chip access despite some recent diplomatic outreach.

The updates will target AI chips not currently covered, require reporting of certain powerful consumer chip shipments, and remove technical parameters that allowed workaround chips so far. Though the new curbs risk further tensions with China, the U.S. aims to prevent China from obtaining AI chips to strengthen its military capabilities by continuing to take a hard line on limiting China's chip access.
