Artificial intelligence’s industrial revolution has the potential to transform society in remarkable ways. For example, we mere mortals can now absorb a comprehensive understanding of any subject within a split second of typing a question on a screen. The rate at which AI is progressing is impressively fast. Any hiccups today will be but a faint memory soon.
As with any technology, darker applications of AI have also evolved and abounded. A Florida middle school teacher was recently arrested after allegedly using school servers to download and distribute child pornography (also known as child sexual abuse material) and images depicting animal sexual abuse. The images were believed to be AI-generated, created from real photos of his students.
