Research will show how best to use AI for national security purposes.
The NSA and the US Cyber Command recently completed relevant research on the use of AI in the future. The event was sponsored by Recorded Future, the parent company of The Record.
The study lasted 60 days and aims to determine how generative AI can affect the work of the NSA and the agency as a whole. According to NSA and Cyber Command chief Paul Nakasone, the agency already uses the technology in its signals intelligence (SIGINT) missions, but hopes to extend it to cybersecurity, as well as its "business functions" such as accounting and regulatory compliance.
Nakasone also noted that Congress, in a recent defense policy bill, directed the Cyber Command to develop a five-year plan for the use of AI in cyber operations.
Concerns that AI could increase security concerns in the United States are growing at all levels of the federal government, right up to the White House. In July, leading AI companies signed voluntary commitments that they would prioritize security when developing the technology.
While AI can significantly enhance agencies intelligence and cybersecurity capabilities, there is also the risk of abuse and mistakes that can have serious consequences. Therefore, it is critical that the implementation of AI in these areas is strictly controlled and ethical.
As for the use of AI, it was previously reported that the Pentagon is upgrading air surveillance systems around Washington with the help of computer vision technology that can detect and warn of suspicious objects in the air over the US capital.
