Anthropic警告小型AI模型或使IoT设备面临自我复制恶意软件风险
Anthropic warns small AI models could self-replicate through IoT devices
AI company Anthropic is warning that advances in small AI models could soon usher in a new era of self-replicating malware that’s capable of infecting smart fridges, vacuum cleaners, and a wide range of other Internet-of-things devices and is more resistant to takedown.
AI公司Anthropic警告称，小型AI模型的进步可能很快开启一个自我复制恶意软件的新纪元，这些恶意软件能够感染智能冰箱、吸尘器和广泛的物联网设备，并且更难被清除。
By next year, smaller AI models may be able to autonomously self-replicate on all kinds of IoT devices, the company said. Eventually, the capability could enable computer worms, which propagate without requiring human interaction and are capable of infecting unfamiliar IoT devices. An experiment the company performed recently revealed significant challenges in bringing such an AI malware replicator to fruition, so the finding is necessarily tempered. Still, the results do raise concerns about the possibility of new forms of computer worms.
该公司表示，到明年，较小的AI模型可能能够在各种IoT设备上自主自我复制。最终，这种能力将使计算机蠕虫得以传播，它们无需人类互动即可传播，并能感染不熟悉的IoT设备。该公司最近进行的一项实验揭示了实现此类AI恶意软件复制器面临重大挑战，因此这一发现需要适当谨慎看待。尽管如此，结果确实引发了对新型计算机蠕虫可能性的担忧。
Challenging to shut down
难以关闭
Anthropic further warned not only about the new potential malware, but also that it could be difficult to stop. In its blog post, it wrote that “a replicator like this would be challenging to shut down, since there’s no centralized point to shut off—though it may be slow (with a doubling time of days). Unlike non-AI malware, it could also figure out unfamiliar devices on its own.”
Anthropic进一步警告说，不仅新的潜在恶意软件令人担忧，而且阻止它也可能很困难。在其博客文章中，它写道：“这样的复制器将难以关闭，因为没有集中的关闭点——尽管它可能进展缓慢（翻倍时间为几天）。与非AI恶意软件不同，它还可以自行识别不熟悉的设备。”
