BLETCHLEY, England (AP) — Artificial intelligence is "an unstoppable force" that is being weaponized in ways that fall just short of traditional warfare, Britain's cyberspying chief warned Wednesday.
Anne Keast-Butler, director of the communications intelligence agency GCHQ, said Britain and its allies are in "a space between peace and war" and risk losing a conflict in cyberspace against Russia and other adversaries unless they treat cybersecurity with much greater urgency.
"I've spent three decades working in National Security. And the risk of miscalculation is as high as I've ever seen it," Keast-Butler said in a speech at a World War II code breaking center near London.
