Unpoisoned Fruit: Seeding Trust into a Growing World of Algorithmic Warfare
summary
Claims that AI/ML delegations create real-world weapons: Tesla Autopilot overconfidence costs lives (Joshua Brown dies two weeks after viral demo), Strava exposes secret routes, Waze reroutes 10,000 cars into city jams, campaign influence uses ~1% of accounts and ~13,000 bots to flip outcomes, and ship automation causes massive oil slicks. Classifiers break under context shift (90% → >50% failure). Proposed fixes center on standards tests and transparency, backed by auth/authz, encryption, audit and GRC to measure and enforce integrity.
