Yeah, the AI companies have said that there's a 10% chance AI will try to kill humanity. That sounds malicious to me. It's could become malicious software. Malware.
I think they're over-estimating the capabilities of their algorithms and greatly underestimating resilience of humanity. I'm not afraid of the clankers.
But I do take note that they're saying they aren't in control of this software and there's a significant probability it will turn into some pretty powerful malware. I don't think it's going to kill me but it might try to delete all of my data.
So following the basic fundamentals of IT, we should not be putting data on any cloud server that AI on the network. That would be exposing the data to significant risk of being compromised by malware. Are there any cloud servers that are purely for data and have no AI integrations in the mix? Hmmm....
So the logical conclusion to this is we need to move all data from cloud servers onto our own servers to ensure there's a firewall in between the data and potential malware on the cloud networks. Cloud services are unsafe and should not be trusted because at any time they may become malware.
Was that the conclusion these AI companies wanted us to get to?
