US Agencies Advance AI Strategies for Security

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in warfare and security has become increasingly significant, with adversaries like Russia and China weaponizing AI for psychological operations and disinformation campaigns. Russia has intensified its efforts by deploying AI to create human-like bots that manipulate public opinion and monitor information environments, particularly ahead of the upcoming U.S. elections. Meanwhile, China's AI capabilities facilitate large-scale disinformation efforts, deepfakes, and targeted manipulation of global narratives. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is also prioritizing AI, investing in research to enhance border security and protect against adversarial attacks. Additionally, various U.S. agencies, including NASA and Central Command, are integrating AI technologies to improve efficiency and operational capabilities, while addressing challenges related to bias and governance. With the rapid growth of satellites in low Earth orbit, companies like LeoLabs are leveraging AI to track space activity and mitigate risks associated with increasing congestion in space.
