- zechs 9y agoIn a way, the way contracts and legal documents are written now are already an antagonistic optimization against humans natural language ability. A typical contract is pretty difficult for a human to parse without experience. Imagine how much more tricky and complex legalese can get if lawyers start battling machines!
- entee 9y agoThis. So much this. One big problem with AI/ML as is currently eating the world is that it's just a really fancy averaging engine. It memorizes (incredibly, beautifully, superhumanly) but it doesn't really actually understand. There's a whole spate of "lets trick the AI" in image processing, I have to believe that there are easy ways to do the same with text. That said, one counterargument could be that obfuscating an AI will lead to more confusing contracts which could actually end up making them harder to enforce. So perhaps in this case there's a counter-force.

- wpasc 9y agoI read a great, great paper about training systems against this. Obfuscation is currently easy against AI, but obfuscation that fools an AI and a human could still detect (Purposeful perturbations). This can be pre-trained against by incorporating such perturbations programmatically during training. Link: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.06640.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.06640.pdf
