NSA announces new artificial intelligence security center: 'Desperately needed'

Fox News correspondent Gillian Turner has the latest on the president's focus amid calls for an impeachment inquiry on "Special Report." The National Security Agency (NSA) will launch a new artificial intelligence security center to both protect U.S. AI systems and defend against external threats. The new security center launches as the U.S. government has increased its use of algorithms and AI systems in defense and intelligence and is seeking to safeguard systems from theft or sabotage. Army Gen. Paul Nakasone, NSA director, told the Associated Press that the new center could be incorporated into the NSA's existing Cybersecurity Collaboration Center, which works with the private sector and internal partners to strengthen U.S. defenses from near-peer rivals such as China and Russia. Christopher Alexander, the chief analytics officer of Pioneer Development Group, told Fox News Digital such a center is "desperately needed for intelligence analysis and is crucial for national security."
