Chatbots can help thousands of people communicate with each other without interception of dictatorial regimes. Can technology revolutionize not only democracy but also the lack of it?
If you lived in a dictatorial regime, I would probably like to be able to communicate freely without your government discovering your secret messages, right?
In the Portuguese period whose end was celebrated this Friday, “even the walls had heard.” But write by encrypted symbols in a screen It was still far from being a reality. Dictatorships persist in various countries around the world, and chatgPT can help many people communicate without being intercepted.
In this chatbot, when messages are encrypted to a safe transmission, the resulting cipher text – a sequence of distorted characters – Sobresai, explains the.
Now Mayank Raikwar of the University of Oslo, Norway, and his colleagues wanted to verify if this possibility is real. Thus created a system that allows you to insert encrypted messages in chats with a plausible appearance, created by a large language model (LLM) such as chatgPT.
The authors of, available in the online repository Arxiv, asked chatbot to insert the following character from an encrypted message in regular intervals in the generated text.
Thus, AI chooses the next word in a sentence based not only on the fact that it makes sense in the context, but also for the Encrypted character of the secret message appears at the correct place of the sentence.
“A gossip would not be able to understand whether there is a hidden message or not,” explains Raikwar. “There may be problems if you start doing it-it’s just a theory. But it would be good to see if it works.”
“Although secret channels have existed for centuries, they are hardly used in practice, as there are usually better ways to convey secret information,” says researcher Bill Buchanan. “It is to be assumed that someone who wanted to use this kind of method would be watched.”
