A stunning new report indicates that we almost started a war with China based on a faulty AI intelligence report. Let's put this up on the screen from CNN. This is pretty stunning and underscores how while we have been talking a lot about the long-term risks of AI, which I think we should talk about and be concerned about, there are a lot of short-term risks involving AI hallucinations and human stupidity, the combination of which could be completely Completely disastrous for the country and the world. So this is the headline here: exclusive. US military had close call after using AI for false intelligence report. The intelligence report circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran immediately set off alarm bells.
A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program. The U.S. military Swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according four sources. According to two of those sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air. It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report, put together by a special operations command analyst, and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence, and that a chat bot that The analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. The report, according to one of the sources, was quote, entirely false, but it also, quote, almost started a war.
Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations. This is terrifying and completely insane. They had an AI chatbot that hallucinated intelligence about this ship carrying components for a nuclear weapons program, a Chinese ship.
