The Intersection of AI and National Security

Artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and presents both opportunities and challenges for national security. A significant concern is how AI intersects with other technologies, especially with cyber capabilities, posing risks such as self-generating malicious code and exacerbating existing cyber threats like phishing. Additionally, AI complicates the use of chemical and biological weapons by potentially assisting terrorist groups in creating dangerous substances with greater ease. Autonomous weapons are also becoming more prevalent, as evidenced by their usage in the Ukraine conflict, underscoring the transformative impact of AI on national security approaches.
