Threats, privacy and governance1 story
The recent announcement by SoftBank to build up AI data centers in France with a major investment has sparked concerns about the potential cybersecurity threats that may arise from this development. As tech giants continue to pour billions of dollars into artificial intelligence and machine learning, the risk of cyber attacks and data breaches increases exponentially. This is because AI systems, by their very nature, require vast amounts of data to function effectively, and this data is often sensitive and highly valuable. Furthermore, the use of AI in data centers also creates new vulnerabilities that can be exploited by malicious actors. For instance, AI-powered systems can be used to launch sophisticated phishing attacks or to create highly convincing deepfakes that can be used to deceive even the most vigilant security systems.
