The U.S. is in danger of falling behind China and Russia in developing artificial intelligence technologies and countering cybersecurity threats that could develop as AI use becomes more widespread, according to a newly released report from the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.
The 750-page report offers more than 60 recommendations for how the U.S. could become the world leader in developing and deploying AI technologies as well as how to counter threats that leverage AI, including disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks by nation-states. The commission recommends many of the same changes to national policy that the Cyberspace Solarium Commission advocated in a 2020 report.

March 2 (UPI) The Government Accountability Office said in its high-risk report published Tuesday that federal cybersecurity s rating has regressed since 2019.
The rating has declined from a met rating in 2019 to a partially met rating in 2021 due to lack of leadership commitment, according to the high-risk report. A partially met rating means some, but not all, necessary actions have been taken for an area to be remove from the agency s high-risk list.
