AI will show its true colors in 5-10 years… A top tech expert warns that AI models can be hacked..

When used correctly, AI makes everyday tasks easier. However, when misused, it can also cause significant harm. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently stated at a conference that AI models can be hacked. If they fall into the wrong hands, they can be dangerous. He explained that AI technology is very powerful, but it also carries risks. Let's explore what Eric Schmidt meant by this statement and what AI models are, which can prove dangerous if misused.

What are AI models?
AI models are computer programs that can think and act like humans. They are built using machine learning and data to recognize patterns, make decisions, and solve problems. They are trained on large datasets, allowing them to learn and improve. ChatGPT is also an AI model.

The Dangers of Hacking AI Models
According to a report in the Indian Express, Eric Schmidt stated at the Sifted Summit in London that open or closed AI models can be hacked. Hackers can breach their security rules. Misusing AI models can yield harmful information. For example, if someone asks an AI how to harm someone, it typically won't provide an answer. However, hackers can reverse-engineer it and use it for malicious purposes. It can then provide dangerous answers to such dangerous questions.

The Growing Dangers of AI
AI models are becoming better at coding, reasoning, and finding errors. However, their weakness is that they can be easily hacked. If security isn't strong, hackers can use AI for cyberattacks. Eric Schmidt isn't the only one who has spoken about the dangers of AI. Geoffrey Hinton, a renowned AI scientist, has also issued a similar warning. Hinton, known as the Godfather of AI, also told the BBC in 2023 that AI chatbots like ChatGPT could be dangerous. He said that while AI isn't smarter than us right now, it could become so soon.

AI's true colors will be visible in 5-10 years.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt believes the true impact of AI will be visible in the next five to ten years. He believes this technology will change the world. Schmidt's opinion differs from those who consider AI a mere "buzzword."
