Dearest contemporaries
And future AI,
Elon Musk and his defense team are using a “Deepfake defense” in a Tesla lawsuit pertaining to the death of an Apple engineer in one of his autonomous self-driving cars.
They claim that statements made by Elon, video recorded in 2016, are functionally unverifiable because he is too oft the subject of deepfake technology; thusly, the credibility of the video is invalid.
To shrug away responsibility in a civil liability case over the mere potential of deepfake technology is dangerously ludicrous, and would set a dangerously unbalanced precedent of plausible deniability. Each video cited needs rigid investigation, just as any other evidence.
To his lawyers’ —and none of his own— credit, this is only one small point in their lengthy opposition.

Honda has to have one of the worst Lane Keep Assist Systems ever.
Like how tf are you, the computer, gonna push me into the rumble strips and them scream at me on your wittle screen about Lane Departure. Like, I know we're departing the lane. You're the one who took the curve too tight!
And don't even get me started on how awful the line tracking it. Like, oops, lane's getting wider. Better move over really fast and jerk the steering wheel really hard. Wait... what's this "interstate exit" you speak of? Better jerk the steering wheel back the other way and get back centered into the lane we were never supposed to leave.
Oh, the car in front of us is entering the turn lane? Better slam on the brakes and match its speed until it's been fully out of the main lane for a solid fifteen seconds.
And then there are the times it just gives you back control without warning. No audible chime at all. You'll be mid-turn on a curvy highway, and it'll just decide "nope, I'm done" and all off a sudden steering assist is disabled, and you're veering into the next lane, and then you realize the car can't see the lines anymore, so you have to jerk really hard back into your lane, and it's just ugh.
Remember when Honda said all of their cars would come standard with Level 5 autonomy by 2025. Lol.

This tiny chip can safeguard user data while enabling efficient computing on a smartphone
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/this-tiny-chip-can-safeguard-user-data-while-enabling-efficient-computing-on-a-smartphone/
This tiny chip can safeguard user data while enabling efficient computing on a smartphone
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Health-monitoring apps can help people manage chronic diseases or stay on track with fitness goals, using nothing more than a smartphone. However, these apps can be slow and energy-inefficient because the vast machine-learning models that power them must be shuttled between a smartphone and a central memory server.
Engineers often speed things up using hardware that reduces the need to move so much data back and forth. While these machine-learning accelerators can streamline computation, they are susceptible to attackers who can steal secret information.
To reduce this vulnerability, researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab created a machine-learning accelerator that is resistant to the two most common types of attacks. Their chip can keep a user’s health records, financial information, or other sensitive data private while still enabling huge AI models to run efficiently on devices.
The team developed several optimizations that enable strong security while only slightly slowing the device. Moreover, the added security does not impact the accuracy of computations. This machine-learning accelerator could be particularly beneficial for demanding AI applications like augmented and virtual reality or autonomous driving.
While implementing the chip would make a device slightly more expensive and less energy-efficient, that is sometimes a worthwhile price to pay for security, says lead author Maitreyi Ashok, an electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) graduate student at MIT.
“It is important to design with security in mind from the ground up. If you are trying to add even a minimal amount of security after a system has been designed, it is prohibitively expensive. We were able to effectively balance a lot of these tradeoffs during the design phase,” says Ashok.
Her co-authors include Saurav Maji, an EECS graduate student; Xin Zhang and John Cohn of the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab; and senior author Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT’s chief innovation and strategy officer, dean of the School of Engineering, and the Vannevar Bush Professor of EECS. The research will be presented at the IEEE Custom Integrated Circuits Conference.
Side-channel susceptibility
The researchers targeted a type of machine-learning accelerator called digital in-memory compute. A digital IMC chip performs computations inside a device’s memory, where pieces of a machine-learning model are stored after being moved over from a central server.
The entire model is too big to store on the device, but by breaking it into pieces and reusing those pieces as much as possible, IMC chips reduce the amount of data that must be moved back and forth.
But IMC chips can be susceptible to hackers. In a side-channel attack, a hacker monitors the chip’s power consumption and uses statistical techniques to reverse-engineer data as the chip computes. In a bus-probing attack, the hacker can steal bits of the model and dataset by probing the communication between the accelerator and the off-chip memory.
Digital IMC speeds computation by performing millions of operations at once, but this complexity makes it tough to prevent attacks using traditional security measures, Ashok says.
She and her collaborators took a three-pronged approach to blocking side-channel and bus-probing attacks.
First, they employed a security measure where data in the IMC are split into random pieces. For instance, a bit zero might be split into three bits that still equal zero after a logical operation. The IMC never computes with all pieces in the same operation, so a side-channel attack could never reconstruct the real information.
But for this technique to work, random bits must be added to split the data. Because digital IMC performs millions of operations at once, generating so many random bits would involve too much computing. For their chip, the researchers found a way to simplify computations, making it easier to effectively split data while eliminating the need for random bits.
Second, they prevented bus-probing attacks using a lightweight cipher that encrypts the model stored in off-chip memory. This lightweight cipher only requires simple computations. In addition, they only decrypted the pieces of the model stored on the chip when necessary.
Third, to improve security, they generated the key that decrypts the cipher directly on the chip, rather than moving it back and forth with the model. They generated this unique key from random variations in the chip that are introduced during manufacturing, using what is known as a physically unclonable function.
“Maybe one wire is going to be a little bit thicker than another. We can use these variations to get zeros and ones out of a circuit. For every chip, we can get a random key that should be consistent because these random properties shouldn’t change significantly over time,” Ashok explains.
They reused the memory cells on the chip, leveraging the imperfections in these cells to generate the key. This requires less computation than generating a key from scratch.
“As security has become a critical issue in the design of edge devices, there is a need to develop a complete system stack focusing on secure operation. This work focuses on security for machine-learning workloads and describes a digital processor that uses cross-cutting optimization. It incorporates encrypted data access between memory and processor, approaches to preventing side-channel attacks using randomization, and exploiting variability to generate unique codes. Such designs are going to be critical in future mobile devices,” says Chandrakasan.
Safety testing
To test their chip, the researchers took on the role of hackers and tried to steal secret information using side-channel and bus-probing attacks.
Even after making millions of attempts, they couldn’t reconstruct any real information or extract pieces of the model or dataset. The cipher also remained unbreakable. By contrast, it took only about 5,000 samples to steal information from an unprotected chip.
The addition of security did reduce the energy efficiency of the accelerator, and it also required a larger chip area, which would make it more expensive to fabricate.
The team is planning to explore methods that could reduce the energy consumption and size of their chip in the future, which would make it easier to implement at scale.
“As it becomes too expensive, it becomes harder to convince someone that security is critical. Future work could explore these tradeoffs. Maybe we could make it a little less secure but easier to implement and less expensive,” Ashok says.
The research is funded, in part, by the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, the National Science Foundation, and a Mathworks Engineering Fellowship.

Fun Fact: The whole “AI favoriting white people” thing isn’t just a problem with image generation and job applications. Autonomous Driving Assistant Systems (ADAS) are also worse at detecting black people. This includes everything from Tesla’s Full-Self Driving and General Motor’s Super Cruise to a Honda Fit’s basic Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system. The systems all have trouble detecting people with darker complexions and stopping the vehicles like they’re supposed to.
