TECH NEWS – Artificial intelligence has quickly become the hottest topic in the tech world, thanks to tools like ChatGPT. With over 200 million weekly users, OpenAI’s chatbot helps with tasks like summaries, translations, and solving math problems. However, the vast potential of AI has caught the eye of politicians and government agencies, who are eager to exploit its capabilities for their own purposes.

Previously, we reported on how Javier Milei drew inspiration from the film Minority Report to introduce a new crime prevention measure in Argentina, but he’s not the only powerful figure using such tactics. As noted in a recent article on TechSpot, both the CIA and MI6 have employed AI to modernize their espionage operations. Despite the risk of generating incorrect or fabricated responses, both agencies view AI as a critical tool.

A Collaboration Almost 100 Years in the Making

To mark this advancement, CIA Director Bill Burns and MI6 Chief Richard Moore issued a joint statement celebrating the special partnership between the two agencies, which has been active since 1949. Now, it is more focused on the technological challenges of the modern era. Besides espionage, they are also using AI models to protect sensitive operations from external threats.

Both the CIA and MI6 have embraced cloud technologies and are collaborating with private companies to boost their capabilities. This, along with similar practices by countries like Russia, Ukraine, and China, shows that modern technology has a growing impact on global conflicts. For these agencies, China remains a primary focus, viewed as the most significant geopolitical and informational challenge of the 21st century. Maintaining a technological edge is crucial for the future of espionage, and generative AI is set to play a key role.
