How the CIA Is Preparing for the Evolution of AI
As companies around the world work day and night to bolster and strengthen artificial intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency is preparing for the possibility of computers that perform cognitively as well as humans do.

From The Washington Times:
CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis told The Washington Times it is “still unclear” when artificial general intelligence may arrive, but the agency is gearing up.
…
Key to the CIA’s preparations for advanced AI is preventing technological surprise from disrupting America’s national security.
…
“I can’t get into the specifics of exactly what we’re looking into or working on in terms of those alternate approaches, but I will say that we do take a very broad look at this topic,” Mr. Ellis said. “And our in-house [research and development] folks — we’ve got our [Directorate] of Science and Technology, we’ve got our CIA Labs, you look at In-Q-Tel making investments — we’re taking a broad look at all of these different approaches.”
Artificial General Intelligence, more commonly known as AGI, refers to AI systems that “perform at least as well as humans across all cognitive domains,” according to the Times. It sounds like fiction, but the Times notes that China is “racing” toward AGI and even superinteligence, AI that could outperform humans.
China is reportedly even investing in efforts to engineer a “cognitive merger that physically combines man and machine,” a fact that intercessors should find chilling.
In his interview with the Times, Mr. Ellis lamented that the intelligence community has not paid close enough attention to technology in the past. According to Mr. Ellis, however, President Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe want to change that. The President recently released an AI Action Plan, aiming to secure American dominance in this new field. Meanwhile, Mr. Ellis notes that CIA employees have begun incorporating AI into their work.
AI is, as the Deputy Director put it, a threat to our nation security. As China works to refine this technology, it’s important that America is prepared for anything. Let’s pray for our leaders as they prepare for AI, AGI, and even superintelligence!
