FBI Director Christopher Wray has issued a warning about the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) by terrorist groups. Wray highlighted that AI has been used to amplify the spread of terrorist propaganda and has been manipulated by these groups to evade security measures. According to The Guardian, Wray made these remarks during the first public summit of the Five Eyes alliance.
Furthermore, Wray revealed that terrorists have attempted to bypass the built-in safeguards of AI systems. By doing so, they aim to access information on bomb-making techniques and learn how to hide their searches related to these activities. The head of British intelligence, Ken McCallum, also expressed concerns about the potential for these AI safeguards to be compromised.
The summit, which brought together intelligence chiefs from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, primarily focused on the Chinese government’s intellectual property theft and data breaches. Wray specifically criticized Beijing’s efforts to utilize AI in their hacking operations, emphasizing that they are using American technology against the US.
Wray described the summit as an “unprecedented event to confront an unprecedented threat,” and stressed the prominence of the US, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley in the field of AI. He warned that China’s use of AI in cyber attacks is unacceptable.
