As species, we "seem unable" to develop any kind of information that would remain exclusively ours, especially when faced with a potential rival that processes data exponentially faster and with greater precision than we do.
*> Isn't that concerning?*
I suppose I am concerned about AI using information to specifically target vast numbers of people at scale, based on their psychological traits/desires/vulnerabilities. Esp for political, psyops, dark pattern marketing, etc.
What sort of information would you want to protect from AI but not other humans? If it's a secret, isn't it a matter of who gets to see it, not necessarily what? I'd sooner trust "our AI" than "their human".
You may not be recording your conversations but someone will be. Everything you write will be scanned, and every camera will be training an AI on everything it sees.
You can't. By thinking, or writing, or speaking or gesturing we generate photographic, textual, audible information that can be parsed in multiple different ways. AI is simple and adaptable, however we fool it today becomes tomorrow's training benchmark.
Besides cipher encryption, I really don't think there are any ways to guarantee that AI cannot understand you. Most methods end up ensuring that humans can't understand you either.
E.g. is there a way to trick 'AIs' on the other side of the phone without a human noticing it? For example 'tricking' something like Contact Center AI from google https://cloud.google.com/solutions/contact-center?hl=en
They can also be embedded into songs so that humans hear one thing but the computer does something different: https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixsecurity18/presentat...
There have also been attacks on computer vision systems (like in cars) that can make them suddenly brake or misidentify a lane or street marker, etc., but in ways not obvious to humans: https://adversarial-designs.shop/blogs/blog/adversarial-patc... or to fool facial recognition systems into thinking you're someone else (in a way that won't fool anyone who actually knows you).
And more broadly, any sort of obscured malware tries to deliver a malicious payload while pretending to be something else to the human who runs it.
AI doesn't have the ability to open hard copies. Create, print, and send everything offline.
This does require your humans to understand the obscure language though.
There’s probably no definitle 100% safe way, but one possibility might be to exploit some quick of human perception (kind of like what optional illusions do), but of course there’s no guarantees that a sufficiently advanced future AI won’t be able to read it (on enslave humans to translate it).
I suspect the real issue you wish to address might be expressed better. Perhaps "How can we ensure that large AI companies haven't got favorable intellectual property rights over individual's output?"
