[2022.04.08] Ever since Apple introduced AirTags, security people have warned that they could be used for stalking. But while there have been a bunch of anecdotal stories, this is the first vaguely scientific survey:
I am a public-interest technologist, working at the intersection of security, technology, and people. I've been writing about security issues on my blog since 2004, and in my monthly newsletter since 1998. I'm a fellow and lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School, a board member of EFF, and the Chief of Security Architecture at Inrupt, Inc. This personal website expresses the opinions of none of those organizations.
There is a difference between using a company's products for military purposes and having them specifically create something that is only for a military purpose. It is especially different when using a relatively new technology like artificial intelligence that is capable of becoming extremely evil by automation (which is exactly what had been warned about since AI first gained prominence).
