Craig Answers With the Clipper Chip.","description":"Sen. Mark Warner went to the Senate floor to call for a government body to oversee AI. Craig read the legislation and the senator\u2019s website before the show, and his objection was that the problem it describes is already illegal. Laws against hacking a computer system have been on the books for almost 30 years; people have gone to jail under them, foreign nationals included. \u201cI think what they\u2019re trying to do is get legislation that protects them from the laws that exist.\u201d Jeff played the other side: if the AI gets loose because of \u201cgrossly incompetent nitwits that I chose to employ,\u201d shouldn\u2019t the government hold a kill switch? Craig\u2019s history lesson was the Clipper Chip, the encryption chip the Clinton administration wanted in every device, with a government backdoor built in. His practical answer was that the control already exists: NVIDIA has released open-source software that contains AI agents, watches what they do, and keeps them away from data they are not given \u2014 available now, at no cost, to any developer or business. The people who will not run those controls are the criminals, and \u201cany regulations you put in place will have no effect on them.\u201d Also in this segment: Craig\u2019s two weeks reading the investigations into the AI \u201cbreakouts\u201d at Hugging Face, Anthropic, and Google: \u201cThey did not break out of anything. They had access.\u201d Almost 800 Microsoft Windows patches last month, which Craig attributes to AI being used to find holes The FBI records obtained by hackers last week, and a break-in in Australia The British Columbia lawsuit over an AI company that allegedly knew its product was used to plan a school attack: \u201cThey knew or should have known. The tools exist to control your AI.\u201d Craig apologizes for not being calmer; Jeff books him to explain next week which Microsoft software is about to lose support, which is in this week\u2019s newsletter Heidi still wants the robot bartender Newsletter and Insider Session announcements: CraigPeterson.com ","author_name":"Craig Peterson - Secure Your Business, Your Privacy, and Save Your Sanity","author_url":"https:\/\/cptt.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
