Better understanding of AI cybersecurity risks needed, says TikTok’s Chew Shou Zi
TikTok’s top executive thinks there’s a “non-zero chance” that AI will become superior to human beings in certain aspects. “The technology is evolving, but you can see a world where silicon is just superior to carbon.”
TikTok's CEO Chew Shou Zi has called for a better understanding of the risks associated with artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing the need for increased education in this area. The concerns stem from AI's potential to outperform humans in certain aspects, with silicon potentially becoming superior to carbon in the long run.
During a dialogue at the DBS Asia Future Forward conference, Chew highlighted the need for education on AI cybersecurity risks, noting that people may inadvertently grant agentic AI models excessive permissions, leading to unintended consequences. He urged businesses to develop tools to defend against the increasing costs of creating security problems for platforms like TikTok, given the rapid advancement of AI.
Chew also emphasized the importance of employees being trained not to share sensitive information with public chatbots and cautioned against overestimating AI's short-term potential while underestimating its long-term impact. Despite the technology's rapid advancement, he believes that human adoption of AI content remains a challenge, with viewers still valuing authenticity and being cautious of obviously AI-generated content.
