Existing threats associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in disinformation are receiving heightened attention from governments, especially in the US and China.
Relevance of AI Regulation Measures
Experts warn that the misuse of AI poses a threat to global security. In response, the US government has charged several Iranian nationals with cyber-enabled disinformation. Additionally, California Governor Gavin Newsom vetoed an AI safety bill, stating the need for a new safety framework.
Senator Proposals for AI Safety
Senator Maroney proposes widespread legislative measures for AI governance. Changes in security technology and increased government oversight aim to mitigate risks and improve AI governance, potentially affecting industry practices.
Impact on Global Security
Potential implications involve adapting financial systems and regulatory frameworks as part of national security strategies. The integration of AI into global strategies could present unprecedented challenges, evidenced by past cyber attacks in Ukraine in 2015. Cybersecurity experts warn that sophisticated cyber attacks could disrupt financial systems, potentially wiping out trillions.
The government's response to disinformation threats using AI highlights the necessity for a comprehensive approach to technology regulation and safety.
