For some weeks, my colleagues Nicolas Papernot, Tom Ristenpart and I have been thinking about and chatting with other colleauges about what should be done about the spate of AI-hacking incidents that have emerged over the last few months. The result went live today in an open letter, which has been signed by over 400 academic researchers and scientists. The letter states:
- That solving these problems requires collaboration between the AI and cybersecurity communities
- That information about these incidents must be made transparent and trustworthy. One path to this is to establish an international, indepedent and trusted body to collect and disseminate information about these incidents.
Our hope is that this letter will initiate a conversation among policy makers, stakeholders and the general public that will lead to action to address these growing concerns.
