This is just a warning; AI has now been developed which can crack private information such as passwords, credit card numbers and private messages, just by the sound of key strokes. And, it can do this with up to 95 percent accuracy. That is a worry, but it was coming. Details from Yahoo below, but what to do about this is most important. As this is a problem, potentially with laptops in public spaces e.g. airports, methods of disguising the sounds might be made. Two-factor authentication using two forms of identification, such as a text sent to one’s mobile phone, could be used. Biometric authentication, such as fingerprint scans and facial recognition, are other possibilities.
Yet, there is now something of an AI arms race, and no doubt, all such detours will be frustrated given enough time. As I see it, this insecurity is an intrinsic part of the AI world that they have created for us.
