US losing the AI arms race to China and Russia and could expose the nation to serious new threats

The US is trailing behind in the world's artificial intelligence arms race, a new report warns. The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence explained China and Russia are ahead of the game and using this technology in their military operations to undermine US superiority. The US group urges officials to developed AI-powered security and defense technologies before the US falls victim to increased cyberattacks, disinformation campaigns and the erosion of individual privacy and civil liberties. The interim report was released on Tuesday, with the final report set to be out sometime next year. This document is set to be handed to the US Secretary of Defense next year and includes key steps the government can take to position the US in the top spot.
