The Coming AI Hackers
summary
AIs already find unexpected exploits in code and in rule systems and will scale that to tax, finance, and politics, discovering loopholes at computer speed and deploying them widely. Proofs include a DARPA Capture‑the‑Flag with 100 AI teams and seven finalists at DEF CON 2016, AlphaGo’s famous move 37, simulated reward hacks (soccer, stacking, robot vacuum), and a 2015 medical classifier trained on 700,000 patient records that gives accurate but unexplainable diagnoses. Defense options: automated vulnerability scanners, law‑text testing, and faster, patchable governance.
