Researcher from the deep learning project Google Brain are working on artificial intelligence that is capable of creating it’s own form of AI-generated and human-independent encryption. The neural networks can autonomously encrypt and decrypt information.
According to a research paper Martín Abadi and David G. Andersen from Google have designed three neural networks named Alice, Bob and Eve. The researchers assigned each AI a different task. Alice had to send a encrypted message to Bob that only Bob could read. Meanwhile Eve had to figure out how to intercept and decode this message.
The experiment started with a plain-text message that Alice encrypted. Over the course of 15.000 attempts the neural network was able to design it’s own encryption strategy. Bob simultaneously figured out how to decrypt this same message. The message could not be deciphered by Eve.
