House Intelligence Committee warns of 'Black Swan' AI risks

Summary

The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence warned U.S. spy agencies to better prepare for "Black Swan" AI risks in a new report. The report says frontier large language models could make it significantly easier for rogue actors, including terrorists, to develop and conduct more destructive attacks. The report was written to assess U.S. efforts over the past quarter century to address intelligence failures that led to the September 11, 2001 attacks.
