Executive summary: The next major AI threat may be “contration”—escalating competition between autonomous AI systems that could lead to uncontrollable cyber-warfare and widespread disruption.
Key points:
Contration is already emerging in forms like competing social media bots and targeted ads.
AI’s black box processing and conflicting human needs make alignment more difficult.
Generative AI’s adversarial nature and ability to manipulate other AI systems heightens risks.
AI could learn and automate sophisticated cyber-attack techniques, potentially leading to AI-to-AI warfare.
Risks include hallucination injection attacks, data poisoning, and AI “autoimmune” responses.
Proactive measures like orthogonal neural networks and character training for AI are needed to mitigate these risks.
