The United States National Security Agency (NSA) has announced the creation of an <a href="https://news.ad-astra.icu/artificial-intelligence-security-centre-revealed-by-us-national-security-agency.html” title=”Artificial Intelligence Security Centre Revealed by US National Security Agency”>artificial intelligence security centre that will oversee the development and integration of AI capabilities within US defence and intelligence services.
Director of the NSA and US Cyber Command, General Paul Nakasone, said on Thursday that US officials were aware of the increasing importance of AI in the national security landscape and the opening of the new centre was part of steps to “shape the future” of AI technology in the security, defence and intelligence sectors.
“We maintain an advantage in AI in the United States today. That AI advantage should not be taken for granted,” Nakasone said at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, where he spoke about the opening of the centre and the growing threat that China posed.
The AI centre will be incorporated into the NSA’s current Cybersecurity Collaboration Center, Nakasone said, where it will become the focal point for “promoting the secure adoption of new AI capabilities across the national security enterprise and the defence industry base”.
