New Episode: Facial Recognition Fallout, Hacked and Helpless, and the AI Armageddon 👀

Greetings!We hope this email finds you well. This week on Shared Security, we discuss some of the latest security and privacy news that has caught our attention. Here are some of the topics we cover: Facial Recognition Fallout: Clearview AI, a facial recognition company, has scraped over 30 billion images from Facebook and other online sources to create a database that it sold to law enforcement agencies. We discuss the privacy implications of this database, which essentially puts everyone into a "perpetual police line-up" without their consent or knowledge. Hacked and Helpless: We share a story of a person whose phone was hacked, leading to the theft of their credit card information. We talk about the importance of taking proactive measures to protect personal information, such as using two-factor authentication and monitoring bank accounts regularly for any suspicious activity. AI Armageddon: We discuss Eliezer Yudkowsky's proposal to use the threat of nuclear war to prevent the rise of artificial general intelligence. We talk about the ethical implications of such a proposal and the possible consequences of taking such extreme measures.We invite you to listen to this week's episode and subscribe to our podcast on your favorite listening app, as well as our YouTube channel. Stay informed and stay secure with Shared Security!Best regards,Tom, Scott, and Kevin
