President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the National Security Agency warned Thursday of growing threats posed by artificial intelligence, from election interference to the potential export of repressive technologies by China.
Air Force Lieutenant General Timothy Haugh told the Senate Armed Services Committee that those threats could show up in next year’s presidential election. “As we look at this election cycle, the area that we do have to consider that will be slightly different will be the role of generative AI,” Haugh said.
