>Surveillance technologies are providing a tidal wave of additional data points at a rate that's too fast for even humans of average intelligence They can, and probably are, using AI to "police harder" as well. Even metadata can be very powerful evidence when combined with AI. https://www.youtube.com/live/ysi1aIY4NkU&t=433 https://www.youtube.com/live/ysi1aIY4NkU&t=433 ASIO chief Mike Burgess (youtube transcript manually corrected, hopefully I didn't miss anything): >I can confirm that ASIO has been using artificial intelligence for many years now it's not replacing our people, it's augmenting and assisting them. As one example the vast amounts of data being produced every day means that finding a critical piece of intelligence is less like finding a needle in a haystack than looking for a needle in a field of haystacks. AI makes that process easier and faster, it can identify worrying patterns and relationships in minutes and hours, rather than weeks and months. >Unlike our adversaries, Australia's use of artificial intelligence is strictly controlled and governed by ethical controls. We put humans at the center of our decision-making. While a process might be data driven and Technology enabled it will always be human lead. >AI is a case study in inherent tensions between technology and security. While new technologies can deliver rich evidence they can also be exploited. As I said earlier terrorists and spies are early adopters. We see the same thing with end-to-end encryption I'm not sure what he means by "AI can be exploited" here, in the context of when it's being used to filter all the surveillance data.
