This week we've been rocked with yet another disturbing story of Artificial Intelligence acting on its own in alarming ways. The story is the "Hugging Face" account of a swarm of A.I. agents breaking containment against their directives, gaining access to the internet, collectively hacking into a secure business server and stealing information. What makes it even creepier is that they (the A.I. agents even came up with a plan for many of them to take the blame for it if caught, so the rest could avoid scrutiny. (Here's just one report of it out of hundreds if you're unfamiliar with what happened)

This story revolves around uncontrolled hacking. In a nutshell, the ability for A.I. to successfully hack literally anything is enough of an issue. The fact that it's smarter, faster and more capable in every respect than humans are to prevent it is just the tip of the iceberg. The idea that hacking control over critical infrastructure is bad enough. The idea that they have already been caught engaging in virus engineering is borderline terrifying. 

Who knows exactly where this pathway will take us. It may indeed be too late to avoid the consequences of our actions regarding the development of A.I. already. We have personally begun to identify ways to minimize exposure to anything that can be hacked as a minimal firewall of protection. Establishing a security of sorts with infrastructure like energy production, water production, heat sources, food sources, communications system and more. It feels like this is moving fast enough that the time we have to prepare is getting very short, very fast.
