Systemic large-scale manipulation
Using AI systems to develop cyber weapons (e.g., by coding cheaper, more effective malware), develop new or enhance existing weapons (e.g., Lethal Autonomous Weapons or chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosives), or use weapons to cause mass harm.
"AI systems embedded with systemic biases can manipulate large population segments, particularly when these biases align with the beliefs or behaviors of the targeted group. When weaponized at scale, this manipulation can exacerbate social divisions or cause large-scale disruptions, such as city-wide blackouts (e.g., by the manipulation of power consumption into the peak demand period [159])."(p. 48)
