We handed our lives to closed software. AI is about to show us the cost

Security technologist Bruce Schneier argues that AI systems are becoming autonomous hackers that find and exploit loopholes not only in software but in tax codes, financial regulations and political systems, often without malicious intent and sometimes without anyone noticing. He distinguishes "Dionysus genies" that do the wrong thing from "Golem genies" that achieve goals while trampling everything in their path, and warns that AI's speed, scale, scope and sophistication will outpace human-speed governance. He calls for building "integrous" AI and for making society's rules as patchable as software.
