I’m reminded of a scene in the movie Terminator, in which Kyle Reese describes to Sarah Connor the cyborg that is hunting her: “It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever . . .” We’re not dealing with literal cyborg assassins, but as AI becomes our adversary in the world of social hacking, we might find it just as hard to keep up with its inhuman ability to hunt for our vulnerabilities.
