filmmaker uses ai to visualize thousands of leaked passwords

UK filmmaker Daniel McKee has created a unique film called “Password123” as a music video for London-based musician HOWE, and if you look carefully, you might see one of your online passwords featured.

McKee’s film visualizes real passwords leaked on the dark web from some of the most severe data breaches of the past decade. Each password was then run through the text-to-image ai DALL-E 2.

“Password123” offers a rare glimpse into user habits and highlights keyboard patterns such as “QWERTY” to the names of loved ones, pets, memorable dates, sports teams, and places.

Daniel handpicked passwords from an enormous 32GB file of 847,223,403 entries. To protect user privacy, names, addresses, and emails have been edited.

“We share these secret phrases with computers daily, and they occupy a special place in our minds. I wanted to see how an AI would reveal them as images,” explained Daniel.

McKee’s film serves as an important reminder of the importance of strong passwords in an age when data breaches are becoming increasingly common. To check if your information has been compromised in a past data breach, check out the helpful haveibeenpwned.com website.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
