![]() ![]() Not all AIs are capable of this at the moment, but it's getting more common. ![]() The first stage is in getting an AI that can give feedback on what it's doing. Our concern was that if an AI was deciding what was important, how do you stop it from deciding that something unimportant is important and wasting its time? What's really interesting is that the AI is able to not only complete tasks given to it, but also independently decide on its own parameters to search for valuable information. Lukasz Kuncewicz, Head Data Scientist at Enigma Pattern spoke about how the same probability analysis AI can be used to detect cancer, decide if someone should get a loan, or if you wanted it to, could crack passwords.īletchley Park, where Turing and his team cracked the Enigma code The event was admittedly a marketing stunt for the creators of the AI, Enigma Pattern (opens in new tab), and the cloud server unit used, DigitalOcean (opens in new tab), but it does have some real world applications. While a pretty cool bit of trivia, we thought it was interesting that a book full of cautionary tales was used as the training tool for an AI when barely a month goes by without dire warnings about the dangers of AI. The AI was trained in what German looks like using Grimm’s Fairy tales. ![]() Unlike the traditional method of cracking the code, the AI was trained to look for German language, and then work out the statistical probability of the sentence decrypted being the accurate original based on how ‘German’ it was, using 2,000 cloud servers to do the calculations. While it worked, we were treated to a lesson on the Enigma machine by best-selling author Simon Singh (pictured). The code was generated from the sentence “German is a beautiful language”, and ended up with over 53 billion different combinations of letters that needed decrypting. The army and Luftwaffe used a three-rotor Enigma, the navy used a four-rotor Enigma, and it was the navy codes that played a pivotal part in preparing for D-day, so the simulation we saw was modelled on a four-rotor system. All of those different elements combined mean that you quickly get millions, and then hundreds of millions of different possible outcomes. ![]()
