Generative AI might offer opportunities for the national security community says Ardi Janjeva, research associate from CETaS at The Alan Turing Institute. But he believes it is “currently too unreliable and susceptible to errors to be trusted in the highest stakes contexts”.
Janjeva said: “Policymakers must change the way they think and operate to make sure that they are prepared for the full range of unintended harms that could arise from improper use of generative AI, as well as malicious uses.”
The research team consulted with over 50 experts across government, academia, civil society and leading private sector companies, with most deeming that unintended harms are not receiving adequate attention compared with adversarial threats national security agencies are accustomed to facing.
