AI can be implicated in crime in several ways. Most obviously, AI could be used as a tool for crime, using its capabilities to facilitate actions against real-world targets: predicting the behavior of people or institutions to discover and exploit vulnerabilities; generating fake content for extortion or to damage reputations; performing acts that human perpetrators cannot or will not perform themselves for reasons of danger, physical size, speed of response, etc.

A collection of recommendable papers and articles on Explainable AI (XAI)
Murat Durmus
October 15, 2020
Explainable AI (XAI) refers to methods and techniques in the application of artificial intelligence technology (AI) such that the results of the solution can be understood by humans. It contrasts with the concept of the "black box" in machine learning where even their designers cannot explain why the AI arrived at a specific decision. XAI may be an implementation of the social right to explanation. XAI is relevant even if there is no legal rights or regulatory requirements—for example, XAI can improve the user experience of a product or service by helping end users trust that the AI is making good decisions.

Murat Durmus
October 15, 2017
Man findet zahlreiche Tutorials, Artikel und Kurse im Web zu den Themen Maschinelles Lernen und Datenanalyse. So viele, dass man sich nicht immer sicher sein kann, ob man die richtige bzw. beste Einführung in das jeweilige Themengebiet ausgesucht hat. Mit der „falschen“ Lektüre bzw. Einführung kann man viel Zeit verschwenden und im schlimmsten Falle die Lust und den Spaß am jeweiligen Themenkomplex verlieren. Zum Glück gibt es einige hervorragende Bücher. Mit der richtigen Basis, die in den unten aufgeführten Büchern gegeben ist, kann man sich danach ohne größere Schwierigkeiten in weit komplexere und anspruchsvollere Bereiche wagen. Ein Haus kann noch so schön sein, wenn es jedoch auf einem instabilen Fundament gebaut worden ist, droht es jederzeit zusammen zu fallen. Deshalb ist das Grundverständnis eminent wichtig.
