FBI director warns about Beijing's AI program

FBI Director Christopher Wray has warned about the national security threat posed by Beijing's AI program. During a panel at the World Economic Forum, Wray explained that Beijing's AI program "is not constrained by the rule of law". Wray says Beijing has "a bigger hacking program than any other nation" and will use machine learning to further boost the capabilities of its state-sponsored hackers. Much like nuclear expertise, AI can be used to benefit the world or harm it. "I have the same reaction every time," Wray explained.
