The furor over chatbots that run under security systems Artificial intelligence It has expanded to the most unimaginable territories of the social, economic, technological, political and even governmental life of the daily life of our society.
One of the most powerful examples of this trend is the news that even the United States Central Intelligence Agency, the INChas joined this trend by confirming the development of a new AI that would work in the purest style of ChatGPT of OpenAI.
The purpose of this assistant would be to help analysts examine enormous amounts of data in order to improve their investigations, saving considerable amounts of time.
To be honest, Sam Altman’s platform has not exactly distinguished itself by being the most optimal for analyzing and organizing information, particularly due to the issue of its so-called “hallucinations”.
However, other Artificial Intelligence alternatives such as Google Bard have proven to be quite functional and reliable for the work of this government office.
So it makes sense for the Intelligence Agency to focus on a project of these characteristics.
What the CIA’s ChatGPT will do exactly
An interesting report by Bloomberg reveals the Agency’s plans with this chatbot that will take advantage of advanced Generative Artificial Intelligence to help its agents access and understand data from open sources.
The technology would already be at a relatively stage after being promoted by the CIA’s Open Source Enterprise unit and will deploy the chatbot in multiple intelligence agencies of other instances:
“We have gone from newspapers and radio to newspapers and television, to newspapers and cable television, to basic Internet, to big data, and this continues.
Now we have to find needles in a field of needles. The scale of how much data we collect and what we collect has grown astronomically over the past 80 years. So much so, that this could be discouraging and, at times, unusable.”
This is what Randy Nixon, director of the CIA’s AI unit, points out about this project that becomes necessary, whether they like it or not, given the current scenario that exists with this type of technology.
The future of the regulation of these systems and the non-benign uses to which they could be put remains a relative mystery. But the CIA seems to have this support tool almost ready for the not-so-distant future.
