Cyber Warfare & The Future Of AI

Uploaded on 2024-02-20 in TECHNOLOGY-Key Areas-Artificial Intelligence, GOVERNMENT-Defence, FREE TO VIEW

Low-grade Artificial Intelligence (AI) versus higher-grade AI conflicts in which AI systems will be used by adversaries to carry out cyber attacks against the US is likely in the near future, Jude Sunderbruch, the US Defense Department’s Cyber Crime Center (DC3) Director has said. 

His predictions is that AI will be integral in the next phase of cyber warfare, enabling new tools and new versions of classic attacks, according to intelligence experts.  

DC3 serves as one of a number of US federal cyber security analysis agencies and has advanced forensics capabilities used to collaborate with other intelligence community players and share information about cyberthreats. 

 Sunderbruch was speaking at  the DefenseScoop Google Defense Forum alongside Col. Richard Leach, the US Defense Information Systems Agency’s Intelligence Director. “I think we’re really just at the start,” Sunderbruch said, later adding that the US and its allies will have to get creative and learn how to best use existing AI systems to gain a leg up on competing intelligence giants like China.

AI and machine learning technologies have often been said to be the next phase of cyber security, with researchers and officials saying they will heighten capabilities of both novice and nation-state hackers. In the near term, AI systems can be used for threat and vulnerability analysis, as well as system testing, said Sunderbruch. 

An up-dated cyber security strategy  published in September 2023  says the agency will study how to apply automated and AI-driven capabilities to US cyberspace. The Pentagon plan takes an offensive approach for US cyber operations, shifting focus from counter terrorism to combating nation state operations from  China and Russia.

This strategic shift appears to be influenced by Russia’s failed invasion of Ukraine and how the continuing battle there has demonstrated how cyber capabilities may be used in large-scale conventional conflict.
