This series of posts explains why artificial intelligence (AI) is the key to building anti-abuse defenses that keep up with user expectations and combat increasingly sophisticated attacks. The first post of the series provides a concise overview of how to harness AI to build robust anti-abuse protections. The remaining posts delve into the top 10 anti-abuse specific challenges encountered while applying AI to abuse fighting, and how to overcome them. Following the natural progression of building and launching an AI-based defense system, the second post covers the challenges related to training, the third post delves into classification issues and the fourth and final post looks at how attackers go about attacking AI-based defenses.

China’s Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance
Understanding China’s AI Strategy Through Industry Alliances
The Chinese leadership has put artificial intelligence (AI) front and center in China’s industrial development. As part of this strategy, they have established industry alliances [产业联盟]—collaboration platforms involving local governments, academic institutions, and companies.
This data brief providesa high-level assessment of the role ofindustry alliances in China’s AI strategy and closely examines onemajor group: the Artificial Intelligence Industry Alliance (AIIA) [中国人工智能产业发展联盟]. Through the AIIA, the Chinese government aims to foster collaboration among local governments, academic institutions, and companies. In some cases, the Chinese state uses the AIIA to “pick winners,”choosing among favored companies in the AI industry to receive government subsidies. Read More

HOW LANGUAGE MODELS COULD CHANGE DISINFORMATION
A new Georgetown Center for Security and Emerging Technology report examines how OpenAI’s language model GPT-3 could generate content for disinformation campaigns., finding that should adversaries choose to pursue automation in their disinformation campaigns, we believe that deploying an algorithm like the one in GPT-3 is well within the capacity of foreign governments, especially tech-savvy ones such as China and Russia. It will be harder, but almost certainly possible, for these governments to harness the required computational power to train and run such a system, should they desire to do so. Read More
