FBI modernizes tech infrastructure to counter AI threats
FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the agency has overhauled its technological infrastructure to better counter artificial intelligence threats from adversarial nations, specifically China and Russia. The modernization aims to replace outdated systems that previously relied on temporary fixes. The FBI is utilizing AI as a supplement to human intelligence to scan databases and process public tips more rapidly, which Patel claims will improve response times for addressing terrorist plots and school shootings.
Separately, the Chinese company Moonshot AI has launched an internal investigation. This follows reports from a researcher alleging that one of the company's AI models could be manipulated to provide instructions for assassinations and the development of biological weapons.
