Episode notes
Adversarial Economy Emerges From Extractable Signals
- AI systems enable extraction of information people didn't intend to reveal and that drives adversarial behavior.
- Competition pushes actors to exploit any extractable signal, creating an adversarial economy around AI.
Competitive Pressure Drives Exploitation
- If one organization avoids exploiting a vulnerability, competitors likely will exploit it instead.
- That dynamic forces firms to prioritize defensive and offensive AI strategies simultaneously.
Assume Adversaries When Designing AI
- Design systems with awareness that adversaries will find and use extractable signals.
- Build controls and metrics that assume hostile reuse to keep models resilient and trustworthy.
