House Intelligence Committee warns AI could become a major U.S. national security challenge

The U.S. House Intelligence Committee has identified artificial intelligence as one of the most serious emerging challenges facing American national security, according to a report cited by Techub News and attributed to BeInCrypto. The warning appeared in a review published on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 Commission Report. The report said AI could create strategic blind spots on a scale comparable to those associated with 9/11. It also said the technology is likely to speed up cyberattacks and could be used in biotechnology and foreign influence operations, creating several layers of risk at once. At the same time, the committee argued that the U.S. intelligence community should adopt advanced AI tools itself. The report said that step is necessary to respond to adversaries that are already using AI.
