The Invasion of Privacy.
How to Achieve Visibility in AI Agents.
Invasions of privacy are likely to occur in several many new domains as AI tools and LLMs become more influential.
So let’s take a look at how they can appear:
1.The Interpersonal level:
This is when an individual uses an AI agent to spy on another.
Fx.someone could use a household robot’s episodic memories to covertly monitor other members of the household.
2. The Commercial level:
This is when corporations use AI agents, particularly those they sell or rent to gather commercially valuable information about their users.
3. The Governmental level:
This is when governments, not only authoritarian ones, might demand or secretly access the memories of AI agents looking for evidence of forbidden political organizing or the expression of unwanted views.
We cannot ensure that AI operates safely unless we know what it is doing.
As AI agents become more capable, they will increasingly operate outside of direct human supervision.
