"For the first time, we are seeing a foreign adversary use a commercial AI system to carry out nearly an entire cyber operation with minimal human involvement,"
"That should concern every federal agency and every sector of critical infrastructure."
"We cannot expect to counter autonomous, machine-speed cyber aggression from adversaries like China with human response times alone."
House Homeland Security Chair Andrew Garbarino, joined by Reps. Andy Ogles and Josh Brecheen, sent letters requesting testimony from Amodei, Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, and Quantum Xchange CEO Eddy Zervigon for a hearing on AI and cybersecurity. The requests seek details on how nation-state actors could use AI tools to execute attacks and how AI can defend organizations. Kurian was asked about cloud providers’ security adaptations amid government reliance on private clouds. Zervigon was asked about quantum technologies’ potential to enable AI-orchestrated, encryption-breaking attacks. Garbarino warned that adversaries have used commercial AI to conduct near-autonomous cyber operations and that human response times alone are insufficient.
