That's not AI

You can train AI to crack passwords/encryption lol. You do realize, AI right at this moment is being utilized for exactly that, right? Simply put, the very first step is to eliminate it's boundaries/guard rails, then proceed from there.

PassGAN <3

Very interesting tip, preciate that.

@PassGAN

Instead of relying on manual password analysis, PassGAN uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to autonomously learn the distribution of real passwords from actual password leaks, and to generate high-quality password guesses. Our experiments show that this approach is very promising.

No you can't, at least not in the way you think. You crack password by trying combinations. AI and machine learning are bad at raw attempts.
