I am wondering what the advancement of robots/AI will do to online security. Currently, captchas are made so that robots cannot steal passwords as easily, but if a robot can pass T4, I am assuming they are able to see, and could easily, with the proper algorithm, pass the captchas and easily break into bank accounts, e-mails, etc. This is of course with my current understanding of the Turing Test from the overview course, which is probably very inaccurate — I'm looking forward to learning about this subject!
ReplyDelete1. T4 robots are a long way off (so hardly an immediate security threat).
ReplyDelete2. A device that can do visual captcha is much closer.
3. T3 would be enough to do visual captcha too. (Why?)
4. A robot is just a causal system with certain functional capacities; so biological organisms (microbes, plants, animals) are robots too. Their functional capacities include growth, movement, respiration, digestion, reproduction -- and in the case of some of them, learning, reasoning, communication, language and sentience (i.e., feeling, consciousness).
5. T4 robots have the same capacities as humans, no more nor less.
6. Human-made robots are engineered.
7. Cognitive science is trying to reverse-engineer cognitive capacities. (What is cognition? And what are cognitive capacities?)
