There’s no denying the increasing influence of AI in mainstream technological industries. The technological advancements made by the AI boom have also reached the eSporting world. While most of the AI assistance has been handy for gamers, the latest developments in the field might scare the gaming community. 

The data theft scare is one of the most concerning downsides to the internet. Moreover, the gaming community is considered being more prone to the threat. This is due to the constant interaction with interfaces and passwords they have on the web. Of course, you might be making all the precautions to stay safe, but what if there’s an AI that is capable of stealing your data by spying on you? 

This AI Can Predict Key Inputs Via Microphone! 

According to the latest research, an AI is capable of predicting your keyboard inputs up to a terrifying accuracy of 95%. The software is trained by a team from various British Universities. The reports suggest it has adapted to the ability to spy on auditory signals and interpret confidential data based on the noise frequency and input patterns. This includes studying the time taken by the user to type a word or sentence. 

The accuracy of the AI is not just the scary part. The PC format is mostly based on the usage of keyboard inputs. The research paper also suggested that the software can potentially leak the stolen data to a third party. Adding to the horrifying powers the newly developed AI holds, it can also decode voice inputs of a subject from the call. Someone taking a meeting with you can also be under the threat of an AI spy.

For the case study, the researchers recorded audio from a nearby iPhone, via a Zoom conversation, and perhaps most unsettlingly, while they typed on a MacBook Pro. This means that you would need to be in charge of more than just your security. Everyone else on the call needs to be aware of it as well.

As scary as the latest development in the artificial intelligence sector sounds, analysts believe this might just be the beginning of the AI bloom. Quite certainly, the developments in technology come with its perks and downsides. The only advice to follow is to be less dependent on and trusting artificial intelligence for data. Also, considering the fast-growing developments in the sector, some government regulations seem imminent. 

Until then, let’s hope we are not under AI surveillance.
