Technology

Today, technologies are everywhere. They are used to make some tasks easier for us. But they can be a danger to us depending on how they are used.

Internet, a space without limits

As you known, the Web has many unsavory sides. The Dark Web or Darknets are most often referred to as the dark side of the Internet. Where crime and illegal activities take place. These spaces have long been a source of problems, particularly with the many services developed: fraud, hacking, illegal sales of data or merchandise, etc.

It is likely that one day your sensitive personal data such as your medical data or your bank data will be disclosed and sold to the highest bidder. Your identity, your location or your circle of friends are personal data that can be easily accessed. Indeed, the Cookies ask you for them all the time.

Artificial intelligence, how far will it go?

It is used in several fields such as robotics, scientific research and virtual reality. But the most common idea about AI is that they may have a consciousness like human beings. There is a doomsday theory that AI will one day be out of our control. And that's what you can find in the movie Chappie.

What is the Deepfake?

At the moment, we are exposed to other risks. Take the case of facial recognition. This technology can already reproduce faces in full, and in a very simple way. Deepfake uses artificial intelligence to modify an image, video or sound to deceive a person. The risk here would be identity theft using this technology. Or even the creation of malicious infox and hoaxes.
