Reply to comment by Marchello_E in Bill Gates warns that artificial intelligence can attack humans by ethereal3xp

Attacks don't have to be physical.

An AI could destroy your reputation by publishing deepfakes online, or propaganda/slander against you, it would attack your credit rating via online transactions, it could wreck your life by taking over your work email and sending abusive emails to the boss...

Lots of ways that a malicious system could attack a person, or groups. Doesn't need to be particularly "intelligent" either.

and thats without looking at it taking control of your smart car and driving it off a cliff, etc

Yes, but the real question is: Who is to blame, who is thrown in jail, who get a fine?

Is Elon Musk to blame for the update? Is the bank to blame for allowing these online transactions.

The question is: is the person who instructed the AI to blame because the AI doesn't actually understand the implications of what it is doing, or is the actual AI to blame yet what happens to those who instructed the AI, or what if the AI is "glitching"?
