The EU are trying to pass laws to control Artificial Intelligence.

I wish them luck!

There is a basic rule in force here – if it can be done, it will be done.

There are nearly always ways of getting around restrictions. They may use number plate recognition to find untaxed cars but will claim its only used to catch criminals. The same excuse can be used for facial recognition. AI produced text or images can be passed off as an original by various means to convince lawyers.

I decided to investigate further.

I went to an expert in the subject.

I asked AI.

Can AI circumvent legislation by the use of obfuscation?

The reply came straight back.

It is possible for AI systems to attempt to circumvent legislation through obfuscation, but it is important to note that AI systems themselves do not have the intent to do so.

Obfuscation refers to the practice of intentionally making something difficult to understand or interpret. In the context of AI, obfuscation can refer to techniques used to hide or obscure the true behavior or purpose of an AI system from regulators or other oversight bodies.

However, it is important to note that AI systems are developed and operated by humans who are responsible for ensuring that their systems comply with legal and ethical standards. If an AI system is intentionally designed to obfuscate its behavior in order to circumvent legislation, that would be a violation of the law.

Furthermore, regulatory bodies and lawmakers are becoming increasingly aware of the potential for AI to be used in harmful ways, and are taking steps to create regulations that will prevent such abuses. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) includes provisions that require transparency and explainability in automated decision-making systems, which could help to prevent obfuscation by AI systems.

In summary, while it is possible for AI systems to attempt to circumvent legislation through obfuscation, it is ultimately the responsibility of the humans who develop and operate those systems to ensure that they comply with legal and ethical standards. Additionally, regulatory bodies and lawmakers are taking steps to prevent the abuse of AI systems through the creation of new regulations and laws.

Hokay. So AI is relying on humans to prevent obfuscation?

I repeat – if it can be done, it will be done.

  1. The trouble is, AI will be sorted by the wrong people, and nobody really knows who they are yet!

    Maybe AI will tell us when it’s too late…

    • AI is like nuclear fission or genetic engineering. Once it is proved possible it will always fall into the wrong hands.

  2. I think a few days in Leinster House would allow AI to come to regard obfuscation as an acceptable norm!

    • Maybe some day in the near future the doors of Leinster House will close forever leaving just AI quietly running along inside. It would probably do a hell of a better job?
