Could Ai really wipe out all humanity?

& why Software Escrow is your best defense from Ai going rogue!

The quick answers to the above question are yes, in theory, Ai could wipe out all humanity, however, it is unlikely to happen anytime soon and without multiple warning events. However when multiple CEO’s of the major Ai companies say we should slow down development a little, to ensure we have the right safeguards in place, then this is probably something we should listen to?

 

Why software escrow is your best defense from Ai going rogue is definitely more straight forward to answer. Software escrow protect your software by keeping a copy of source code and supporting document. In the event that Ai negatively effects your software the software escrow provider can release a “clean” unaffected version of your software back to you.

 

SES Secure are the leading Software & SaaS Escrow provider in the UK and can provide Escrow Agreements to protect Software Developers and End Users against issues created by Ai or a whole host of other scenarios or “trigger events” that could negatively impact business continuity including:


  • software miss use
  • software degradation
  • software vendor failure or bankruptcy
  • discontinuation of software support


SES Secure also offers the highest level of software validation & varication of any software escrow provider in the UK and also offers full continuity software escrow to ensure your business is back up and running quickly in the event of an issue.


Tom Sweet – Head of Technology at SES Secure said:


“Having access to original source code in the event of any Ai degradation to your  software can be massively important as it allow you to either fully re-instate your software as it was prior to the issue or test and evaluate issues with the software before re-instatement. Ai is having increasing impact and involvement in many software applications either in development, deployment or integrations and having a safe secure copy of the original source code is becoming increasing important in the age of rapid Ai development for both software developer and end users”


SES Secure provide this unprecedented level of software security and peace of mind and with over 25 years experience, a whole list of accreditations and over 200 verified Feefo reviews are undoubtably the number one software escrow and SaaS escrow provider in the UK.
