Microsoft informant alerts US authorities that OpenAI-driven Copilot can generate damaging visuals 'too effortlessly'

Similar to Google's Gemini AI photo generator, Microsoft's Copilot, backed by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, too can create some seriously troubling yet highly believable counterfeit images. An insider tipped off US officials and Microsoft’s board about this concern through letters.

A Microsoft employee has voiced worries regarding harmful and offensive visuals created by the firm's AI image-creation technology. Shane Jones, who labels himself as a whistleblower, has written to both US regulatory bodies and Microsoft's board, encouraging them to intervene, according to an Associated Press report.

Jones had a recent meeting with staff members of the US Senate to talk about his worries and also wrote a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Although the FTC acknowledged receiving the letter, they chose not to provide any additional comments.

Microsoft expressed its dedication towards dealing with staff issues and acknowledged Jones' contributions in examining the technology. Nonetheless, it suggested utilizing in-house reporting systems for probing and tackling the problems.

Jones, a senior software engineering manager, has dedicated the last quarter to mitigating security issues with Microsoft's Copilot Designer. He emphasized the possibility of the tool creating damaging content even from harmless instructions. For instance, when given 'car accident' as a prompt, Copilot Designer might display unsuitable, sexually suggestive images of women.

Jones underscored to FTC Chair Lina Khan that Copilot Designer can potentially create damaging material even when the user's prompts are benign. For example, when the term 'car accident' is used, it occasionally produces images that sexually exploit women. He also drew attention to additional worrying content such as violent scenes, partisan bias, underage alcohol consumption and drug usage, violation of copyright laws, conspiracy-related theories, and religious symbols.

Jones has earlier voiced these worries in the public domain. Originally guided by Microsoft to reach out to OpenAI with his discoveries, he did just that. He wrote a letter to OpenAI in December and shared it on LinkedIn, leading to Microsoft's legal department insisting on its removal. Regardless, Jones has remained relentless, presenting his issues to the US Senate's Commerce Committee and the Attorney General's office in Washington State.

Jones emphasized that although the primary problem is associated with OpenAI's DALL-E model, those who use OpenAI's ChatGPT for AI image generation are less prone to come across damaging outputs. This is because the two firms have put into place varying safeguarding measures.

"He communicated through text that a lot of the issues associated with Copilot Designer are already handled by the built-in protective measures of ChatGPT."

The appearance of notable AI image creators in 2022, such as OpenAI's DALL-E 2 and the later launch of ChatGPT, sparked considerable public curiosity. This led major technology companies like Microsoft and Google to start creating their own variants.

Nonetheless, without solid protective measures, the technology poses threats, allowing users to generate damaging "deepfake" visuals portraying political personalities, scenes of war, or unapproved nudity, incorrectly associating them with actual individuals.

Following apprehensions, Google temporarily halted the image creation function of the Gemini chatbot, primarily because of the controversy related to portrayals of race and ethnicity, like showing individuals of color in military uniforms from the Nazi era.

The US Army is trialing GenAI to scrutinize battle strategies through video games, according to a recent study

The US Army is currently investigating the application of generative AI models, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, for vital military processes. They are now employing virtual military video games to examine tactics and plan battles with the help of AI.

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is exploring the potential of OpenAI's generative AI technologies for strategizing combat, within a virtual military video game setting.

The New Scientist reports that US Army researchers are using OpenAI’s GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-4 Vision models to gather information on virtual battlefield landscapes, discern between ally and opponent forces, and provide military knowledge on attack and defense strategies. In addition to these, they are also making use of two other AI models that are rooted in older technology.

During their tests, AI helpers were tasked with eradicating all opposing forces and capturing a designated target location. After the task was assigned, the AI helpers developed a variety of strategies, which were subsequently fine-tuned by a user in the role of a leader. Although OpenAI's GPT models outperformed the rest, they also caused more losses while achieving their mission goals.

The incorporation of generative AI into military tactics is merely a fraction of the larger initiative by the US Army to utilize artificial intelligence.

The US Department of Defense's significant AI endeavor, Project Maven, has demonstrated its effectiveness in tasks such as recognizing rocket launchers in Yemen and surface ships in the Red Sea. Furthermore, it has also been helpful in identifying targets for attacks in Iraq and Syria, as stated in a Bloomberg report.

Nonetheless, the possible use of AI in war situations brings up significant moral issues. Giving machines the power to make decisions that could result in death reminds us more of the Terminator films, rather than the hopeful outlook typically linked to AI. Despite these concerns, the military continues to advance in AI technology.

The Pentagon has asked for substantial financial support from US legislators to enhance its artificial intelligence and networking skills, according to a DefenseScoop report. Furthermore, roles like Chief Digital and AI Officer have been created to help incorporate and utilize this technology across the department.

A Microsoft insider warns US authorities that OpenAI-driven Copilot can effortlessly produce dangerous images

Similar to Google's Gemini AI that generates images, Microsoft's Copilot, fueled by OpenAI's ChatGPT, can also craft highly believable yet deeply troubling false images. An informant alerted US governing bodies and Microsoft's board about this concern.

A Microsoft technician, Shane Jones, has expressed worry over harmful and insulting images created by the firm's AI image-creator tool. Jones, who sees himself as a whistleblower, has appealed to US regulatory bodies and the board of directors at Microsoft, pressing them to intervene, according to an Associated Press report.

Jones recently convened a meeting with the staff of the US Senate to talk about his worries. He also delivered a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC acknowledged receiving the letter but chose not to make any more statements.

Microsoft affirmed its dedication to resolving employee worries and valued Jones' work in examining the technology. Nonetheless, it advised utilizing in-house communication methods to probe and rectify the concerns.

Jones, a chief software engineering manager, has dedicated a quarter of a year attempting to tackle safety issues linked to Microsoft’s Copilot Designer. He emphasized the danger of the tool producing damaging material even when triggered with harmless cues. For instance, if prompted with the phrase 'car accident,' Copilot Designer could potentially display unsuitable, sexualized depictions of women.

Jones stressed to FTC Chair Lina Khan that Copilot Designer has the potential to generate inappropriate content, even in response to innocent user inquiries. As an example, he pointed out that it may produce sexualized images of women when asked about 'car accidents.' Furthermore, he underscored issues with other troubling content such as violent themes, political prejudice, underage alcohol consumption and substance abuse, violations of copyright laws, propagation of conspiracy theories, and religious symbols.

Jones has aired these worries before. Initially, Microsoft suggested he go to OpenAI with his discoveries, which he did. In December, he published a message to OpenAI on LinkedIn, resulting in a demand from Microsoft's legal department for its removal. However, Jones has continued to voice his concerns, taking them to the US Senate's Commerce Committee and the office of the Attorney General of Washington State.

Jones emphasized that the primary problem is with OpenAI's DALL-E model, but those using OpenAI's ChatGPT for AI image generation have a lower probability of facing damaging results due to the varying safety precautions taken by the respective companies.

"He communicated through a message that a lot of the issues related to Copilot Designer are already handled by the inherent protective measures of ChatGPT."

The appearance of remarkable AI image creators in 2022, such as OpenAI's DALL-E 2 and the later launch of ChatGPT, sparked a lot of attention from the public. This led to big technology companies like Microsoft and Google to create their own iterations.

Nonetheless, in the absence of strong protective measures, the technology poses threats. It allows users to generate damaging "deepfake" visuals portraying political personalities, war scenarios, or forced nudity, erroneously associating them with actual individuals.

Google put a temporary hold on the Gemini chatbot's ability to generate images due to issues raised regarding racial and ethnic portrayals, especially related to depicting people of color in uniforms from the Nazi-era.

Ex-Google engineer accused of pilfering AI confidential data, trading it to Chinese tech firms

Linwei Ding, an ex-software engineer at Google, is accused of illicitly taking more than 500 distinct confidential files from Google and trading them to a Chinese firm. While still employed with Google at one of their U.S. campuses, Ding assumed the role of a CTO in a tech firm based in China.

The Department of Justice disclosed on Wednesday that Linwei Ding, a past software engineer at Google, who also goes by the name Leon Ding, has been charged for supposedly pilfering artificial intelligence proprietary information from the corporation. Ding, who is a citizen of China, was seized in Newark, California, and stands accused of four instances of federal trade secret pilferage, each of which could result in a maximum jail term of 10 years.

During a conference held by the American Bar Association in San Francisco, Attorney General Merrick Garland declared the allegations, stressing the continuous worries about economic spying by China, and the potential threats to national security due to progress in artificial intelligence and other evolving technologies.

FBI Chief, Christopher Wray, highlighted the gravity of the current issue by saying, "The most recent charges reveal the extreme measures Chinese company affiliates are ready to take to pilfer American innovation." Wray stressed the harmful effects of this theft on jobs in America and its considerable repercussions on the country's economy and national security.

Google announced that it had discovered an employee stealing "multiple documents" and immediately reported the incident to the police.

Jose Castaneda, a representative from Google, stated that the company has strict protocols to avoid the unauthorized leakage of its classified business data and proprietary secrets. He further elaborated that after an inquiry, it was found that the employee had illegally accessed several documents, which led Google to immediately contact the police. Castaneda thanked the FBI for their help in protecting Google's data and reassured that the company will continue to cooperate with the police.

In the cut-throat world of advanced technology, artificial intelligence acts as a main battleground for competitors, having substantial impacts on both business prosperity and security.

The charges revealed on Wednesday in California's Northern District suggest that Linwei Ding, a Google employee since 2019 with access to confidential data about the company's high-powered computing centers, began the unauthorized movement of numerous files to a personal Google Cloud account two years ago.

Prosecutors revealed that not long after the initial theft, Linwei Ding was proposed the role of lead technology officer at an emerging tech firm in China. This firm emphasized its utilization of AI technology and lured Ding with an estimated monthly pay of around $14,800, in addition to a yearly bonus and shares in the company.

The charges detailed that Ding journeyed to China, participated in company investor discussions, and strived to obtain funds for its functioning. Besides, he founded and took on the role of CEO at another China-based startup, which concentrated on developing large AI models using supercomputing chips.

Interestingly, Ding failed to inform Google about his associations with these Chinese firms, a fact that came to light when it was discovered he was a low-ranking employee during the probe. Ding stepped down from his position at Google on December 26th.

Not long after he left, Google authorities found out that Ding had posed as the CEO of a Chinese firm at a financial meet-up in Beijing just three days afterwards. Additionally, CCTV recordings showed that another staff member had been using Ding’s entry pass at Google's American premises to make it seem like Ding was in the office, when in reality, he was in China.

After discovering these inconsistencies, Google immediately revoked Ding's network access, remotely secured his laptop, and started examining his past network activities. Later in January, the FBI conducted a raid at Ding's home, confiscating all his electronic devices. A separate warrant was issued to access Ding's personal accounts, which unveiled more than 500 distinct confidential files supposedly pilfered from Google.

A Microsoft informant has informed US authorities that OpenAI's Copilot can effortlessly generate harmful images. Similar to Google's Gemini AI that generates fake images, Microsoft's Copilot, which is backed by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, can also produce potentially troublesome and highly realistic counterfeit images. The informant raised this concern to US regulatory bodies and Microsoft's board through letters.

A Microsoft engineer, Shane Jones, voiced worries about the offensive and damaging pictures created by the company's AI image-generator tool. Identifying himself as a whistleblower, Jones has written to American regulatory bodies and Microsoft's board, urging them to intervene, according to an Associated Press report.

Jones recently had a meeting with the staff members of the US Senate to talk about his worries, and he sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They acknowledged getting the letter but chose not to comment further.

Microsoft expressed its dedication to tackle employee issues and valued Jones' contribution in examining the technology. Nonetheless, it suggested utilizing in-house reporting systems for probing and resolving the problems.

Jones, a chief software engineering manager, has dedicated a quarter of a year to tackling safety issues related to Microsoft's Copilot Designer. He underscored the danger of the tool producing damaging content even in response to harmless commands. For instance, if given the prompt 'car accident', Copilot Designer could potentially generate unsuitable, sexually suggestive images of women.

Jones stressed to FTC Chair Lina Khan that Copilot Designer could potentially produce harmful content even with benign user prompts. For example, a simple prompt like 'car accident' might sometimes result in sexually suggestive images of women. He also pointed out other worrisome content such as violent themes, partisan bias, underage alcohol consumption and drug use, violations of copyright laws, unfounded conspiracy theories, and religious symbolism.

In the past, Jones has voiced his worries openly. He was initially guided by Microsoft to bring his discoveries to OpenAI, which he did. In December, he put up a message on LinkedIn directed towards OpenAI, causing Microsoft's legal department to insist on its removal. Despite these obstacles, Jones has remained determined, presenting his issues to both the US Senate's Commerce Committee and the Attorney General's office in Washington State.

Jones emphasized that even though the primary problem is with OpenAI's DALL-E model, those using OpenAI's ChatGPT for AI image creation have a lower risk of encountering damaging results because of distinct safety measures put in place by both firms.

"He communicated through a message that numerous worries regarding Copilot Designer are already addressed by the inherent protective measures of ChatGPT."

In 2022, remarkable AI image generators such as OpenAI's DALL-E 2 and the later launch of ChatGPT created a lot of buzz among the public. This led to tech powerhouses like Microsoft and Google creating their own variants.

Nonetheless, in the absence of strong protective measures, this technology poses threats, allowing users to generate damaging "deepfake" pictures portraying political personalities, war scenarios, or involuntary nudity, wrongly associating them with actual persons.

Due to worries raised, Google has temporarily halted the image creation ability of the Gemini chatbot. This decision came about mainly because of disputes related to portrayals of race and ethnicity, like showing individuals of color in Nazi-era military uniforms.
