Google Working on "Project Jarvis" AI That Can Control User's PC
Google is developing an advanced AI system capable of autonomously operating web browsers and controlling computer functions, according to recent reports. Codenamed "Project Jarvis," this technology is expected to debut alongside Google's upcoming Gemini large language model this December. The AI-powered system aims to transform everyday online tasks by handling everything from complex research projects to routine shopping activities. Unlike traditional AI assistants that operate within confined parameters, Project Jarvis would have direct control over browser functions, enabling it to navigate websites, fill forms, and execute commands independently. The development follows a broader industry trend toward AI systems with expanded capabilities, with Anthropic recently demonstrating similar technology allowing AI models to execute tasks directly on users' computers.
For businesses, such advances could simplify operations by automating repetitive tasks and increasing productivity, while individual users might benefit from delegating time-consuming activities like price comparisons or travel bookings to an AI assistant. However, this level of system access raises significant security and privacy concerns. Granting AI systems direct control over personal computers creates new security challenges requiring robust safeguards. Unrestricted access to users' systems could create new vulnerabilities, potentially enabling sophisticated cyberattacks. This heightened risk necessitates extensive security testing and robust safeguards before the technology can be deployed with confidence.

Creating AI-based malware that's so smart it will constantly improve all on it's own so you'll never be rid of it.

Fixed that for you.-cough- Mr Lynx.
virus"AI" program doing it for me.Instead they will create a need for your computer to include a new chip, which you will pay for, and do the processing there, which you will also pay for.

:pimp:
EDIT: And don't worry about them not getting your data, because they will. The only difference is what it'll cost them, which is less. :laugh:
That would remove a LOT of barriers to things like spam, scams, DDOS, etc.
Good luck, internet.
6000th post, woohoo!
If anything this shows how stupid we are as a species.
So ads will become:
A. Cheaper
B. More prevalent, or
C. Nonexistent
None of which will be a good thing. A LOT of stuff (even TPU!) is funded by ads that we take for granted, so if the reason for internet ads goes away then a lot of "free" stuff does too.
And when somebody chooses for you where you go, what you eat and so on... It is called... How was it... Oh, I remember. Prison. Gulag.
If ads is served constantly to Jarvis, and Jarvis does not buy anything, ad does not "work". You, as one paying the ad, are getting nothing in return - therefore, after some time, you simply stop paying to Google.
So, no, that does not gonna work.
Maybe Jarvis will also serve ads...?
