'I no longer think we’re going to be able to patch all bugs' says AI Pandora's box opener Sam Altman: 'We're going to have to completely switch the defense model'
Cool, I'll get right on it.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently expressed concerns about the cybersecurity implications of AI at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He stated that the problem of AI-related security threats is not being taken seriously enough by organizations, countries, and individuals. Altman mentioned a period earlier this year when there was a "Mythos freak out," during which some security bugs were patched.
However, he emphasized that people failed to grasp the exponential nature of AI advancements, which could potentially discover bugs at a rate beyond current threat models. Altman believes that simply patching all the bugs will no longer suffice and suggested that a new defense model using AI technology should be implemented to counter these threats.
He expressed astonishment at the lack of attention this issue is receiving and questioned whether AI could be the solution to its own cybersecurity problems.
