If you’re tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties, subscribe to Reclaim The Net. In a recent address, a high-ranking MI5 official disclosed plans to incorporate artificial intelligence technologies into their counter-terrorism strategies, causing a stir among privacy advocates and defenders of online freedom. Outlined in a June lecture, these initiatives include not only AI applications that transcribe intercepted audio into text for analysis but also those detecting violent imagery in data streams, potentially flagging individuals exposed to extreme graphic content. Once a laborious and time-consuming activity, manual transcription of monitored phone calls and bugs has traditionally involved hundreds of staff members, recounted the official. Rather than preserving this age-old but manpower-intensive surveillance method, the agency seeks to automate the transcription of audio into searchable text. In freeing up operatives from foundational tasks, MI5 hopes to intensify the focus on yielding valuable intelligence insights, The Telegraph reports. The official acknowledged the inadequacy of available commercial speech-to-text solutions to MI5’s intricate requirements. In response, the agency’s data scientists have embarked on the design, creation, and real-time improvement of machine learning models. By leveraging this symbiosis of mathematics, computer science, engineering, and human expertise, the agency expects a significant productivity surge, using AI to decipher secrets and mysteries. The speaker also touched on the deployment of AI in image analysis to gauge the potential risks of individuals trending toward radicalization. For instance, monitoring whether participants in extremist online platforms are also viewing violent scenes like beheadings could be potentially indicative…UK Spy Agency Uses Pre-Crime AI To Predict Whether Violent Online Video Watchers Could Become Terrorists
