The director of the National Security Agency said the agency’s new Artificial Intelligence Security Center is paying dividends in the Defense Department’s efforts to stay at the cutting edge of the rapidly advancing technology.
Air Force Gen. Timothy D. Haugh, who also serves as the commander of U.S. Cyber Command, said the security center has become vital as the agency continues to seek ways to leverage, adapt to, and protect against AI technology.
“One area that we see as really being able to provide value is focusing on the security of that technology — thinking about it through both the lens of the protection of intellectual property but also how we think about defending those models to ensure that they’re being used properly,” Haugh said during an event yesterday at the Billington Cybersecurity Summit in Washington.
