Is This a Job for a Human or AI?

Integrating AI into your organization’s workflow requires leadership that can discern between jobs humans should lead and those they can safely hand over to machines. If the answer to any of the following questions is yes, the work is relationship-based and should be done by humans: Does it require a human touch? Will human judgement be important? Who owns the work? Does success require adjusting your priors? And will a compelling story make a difference?

The Many Ways AI Could Disrupt the Midterms

Around the same time that the world learned that swarms of autonomous AI agents were escaping their testing environments and carrying out sophisticated hacking attacks this past summer, researchers who focus on election security were running tests of their own. They wanted to see whether the safeguards that top AI companies had enacted to prevent their technology from disrupting the upcoming midterms would work in the real world. The results were ominous.

In response to sample prompts designed to create misinformation, several chatbots produced realistic photos of a man stuffing ballots into a mailbox, a man holding a foreign passport while trying to vote, and FBI agents investigating a voter-registration organization. The chatbots also created fraudulent government documents and deepfake videos of government officials purporting to substantiate election-conspiracy theories. In some cases, the chatbots acted in violation of their own policies. They even helped the researchers, from the Brennan Center for Justice, hone the prompts that would create propaganda to boost specious claims of election fraud.
